Smart Systems for Monitoring Environmental Impact in Mining Operations

Esther Zen, R. Sivaramakrishnan

Abstract


Smart systems are essential for effectively monitoring the environmental impact of mining operations. This paper examines the methodologies and technologies employed in environmental monitoring systems, focusing on their applications in assessing air and water quality, land degradation, and biodiversity. By presenting case studies, the paper highlights the benefits of using smart systems for environmental monitoring, including enhanced data accuracy, real-time reporting, and improved regulatory compliance. Additionally, the challenges of integrating these systems into mining operations are discussed, along with future prospects for their development.

Keywords
