Sustainable Techniques in Mining: Inspiration from the Nature

Dr. Suhas B. Dhande

Abstract :

We largely depend upon the mother nature for the energy resources. Earth is the only sources for almost all the energy resources, viz crude oil, coal, trees. Though lot of efforts are being taken place towards non–conventional energy sources, atleast as of now, we are dependent on earth. Hence mining is essential and can not be avoided. At the same time, mining is very badly affecting the structure of the earth, mountains and further leading to reduced forests, rains, wild life and so on. So it is a challenge for us to adopt sustainable mining.Bionics approach, nature’s principles, can be ought into our working. Adaptation of good practices in living beings of natural world can inspire us for alternative or sustainable ways of mining. This will lead to maintain the balance between  energy sources requirement and still sustained environment. The purpose of this novel approach is to formulate conceptions to create, explore and evaluate alternative future.
