Environmental change on fauna and flora, affects water quality and quantity due to indiscriminate mining for societal usage. Illegal sand mining is one of the activities posing serious threat to river systems. With the increase of urban population and non availability of sand for construct on of residential complexes leads too many fold increase in illegal mining. Statistics show that requirement of housing increase by one hundred and thirty three present in the next decade. Construction companies, one of the largest users of river sand, need sand with specific parameters. Some of parameters are high compressive strength, durability, economically viable, and availability of large quantity of sand. The dyke rocks chosen for this study lies in the outskirts of Hyderabad making it available. Detailed geological mapping was carried out and field samples and core samples were collected. Laboratory studies to assess the compressive strength were done. The study proved the dyke rock to be suitable to generate Robo sand and create an eco-friendly environment for a better future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
