Surface mining, despite being viewed as a relatively safer extraction method, is not devoid of drawbacks.

The process often leads to erosion, where the topsoil and rocks that are removed during mining can be easily washed away by rain or wind.

This erosion results in sedimentation, with soil particles being deposited into nearby water bodies such as rivers and lakes.

The influx of sediment can severely disrupt aquatic ecosystems. It can cloud the water, reducing light penetration necessary for photosynthesis, and smother aquatic plants and animals.
