A Review on Application of Innovative Techniques for Sustainable Environmental Management in Mines

Abstract

This study focuses on the application of innovative techniques for sustainable environmental management in mines. It highlights the importance of minerals as finite and non-renewable natural resources and the role of the mining sector in catering to global energy and industrial needs. It also describes the challenges of waste generation in mining and the need for responsible extraction practices to contribute to national and community development. It emphasizes the significance of the mining industry in India as a core part of the economy. The study delves into waste dump management, exploring the use of coir mats and grass seeds for aesthetic and sustainable plant growth. The adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technology is proposed for real-time monitoring and management of vegetation in mining areas which includes the use of sensor technology, cloud computing and advanced analytics for ecological monitoring, particularly in forest environments. The study also addresses the need for real-time technology to enhance vegetation, to protect wildlife and to improve the livelihoods of tribal communities. © 2025, World Researchers Associations.
