Sand Auditing for Sustainable River Sand Miningin Kerala, India– An Overview

Sand Auditing is the process that evaluates the health status of rivers subjected to sand mining. This study reviews the river sand audit methodology applied in Kerala, India, from 2011 to 2019 in terms of geographical coverage, results, and applications. It demonstrates the sand audit methodology, the agencies and authorities involved in implementation, and the current status of the State’s sand audit implementation. The current regulatory framework of Kerala that ensures sustainable sand mining and prevents illegal sand mining is also demonstrated. In total, 21 of the 44 Kerala’s rivers have been surveyed during 2011-2019, and the State’s agencies have hence acquired great experience and expertise in sand auditing. A major outcome of Kerala’s sand auditing is the collection of large datasets of river cross-sectional information that can be used, inter alia, in flood modeling studies to formulate sustainable river basin management strategies in Kerala.

Analysis of Community Perception on the Impact of Sand Mining in Mujur River and Regoyo River

Sand mining is an activity of exploiting natural resources below the surface of the ground that can be carried out underground river flows to extract minerals, namely sand. Sand mining is generally carried out to increase development. This activity has a positive impact on the community. However, if you ignore the environmental impact analysis, it will harm the community, which can cause environmental damage. Therefore, this study aims to analyze public perceptions of the impact of sand mining on the Mujur River and the Regoyo River. The research method used is a survey and data obtained by conducting observations, documentation, and questionnaires. Respondents in this study amounted to 30 people who are the surrounding community. For one month, this research was conducted around the Mujur River and the Regoyo River, Pasirian District, Lumajang Regency, East Java. The data of this study were analyzed using descriptive analysis. This study indicates the high public perception of the impact of sand mining on the Mujur River and Regoyo River, seen from the percentage of the questionnaire calculation, which is divided based on the positive and negative impacts of sand mining on the Mujur River and Regoyo River.
