The introduction of semi-mechanized mining methods, such as using hydraulic monitors and dredging in the last 2–3 decades have contributed to significant improvement in the production of gold in the Adola area. The eluvial–alluvial placers have been commercially the most important in the Adola gold field.

In humid climates, limestone dissolves quickly and is carried away by water. This creates caves which can become weak and collapse. Underground mining of limestone can cause a cascading environmental impact. Mining in the karst can lower the water table, which removes the support of rock that overlies water-filled caverns, which …
