River sand mining Vis a Vis manufactured sand for sustainability

Sand and gravels are basic construction raw material globally. With increased economic activity, rate of extraction of sand and gravels has gone up three folds during last two decades reaching 40 billion tonnes per year. Critical hot spots for sand extraction are China and India. Uncontrolled illega...
