Sand Mining Makes Areas Flood Prone: Sandbanks, dunes, and beaches act as a barrier from floods. But whenever extensive sand mining takes place, it removes these barriers. The areas near river bodies or seas become very prone to flooding. As a result, beachside communities become vulnerable to the forces of nature.

Sand is critical to fracking. After workers drill down into rock, they create fractures by pumping in a mixture of water, chemicals and sand. The sand keeps the cracks propped open so that oil and gas are released. Frac sand mining creates significant air pollution from the handling, mining, and processing of the sand.
