Sand and gravel mining refers to the actual process of removal of sand or gravel from a place of occurrence. The increase in demand for sand and gravel for construction purposes has placed immense pressure on the environment where these resources occur. Miners employ different methods of extraction along river channels and their flood plains. …

Rivers are a major source of sand and gravel for numerous reasons: cities tend to be located near rivers so transport costs are low; river energy grinds rocks into gravels and sands, thus eliminating the cost of mining, grinding, and sorting rocks; and the material produced by rivers tends to consist of resilient minerals of angular shape that ...

It is extraordinary how few people know anything about sand mining. Up to 50 billion tonnes of sand and gravel are mined each year to meet soaring demand from construction and land reclamation – making it the largest extractive industry on the planet. Yet most people have never given it even a passing thought.

One method commonly used is Shield's approach. Shields uses the critical shear bed stress at which the particle will start to move. The first step in this method is to calculate the critical velocity (2). u*=(gRhS)1/2 (2) Where g is the gravitational acceleration, Rh is the hydraulic radius and S the channel slope.
