Sand extraction of riverbed recommended from more than 50 m away of riverbank, and the part of river where straight, it will be restored as meander to bring the river natural shape and it will increase the river beauty, reduce the water velocity in main channel also reduce the velocity left and right bank in channel. So, the lower velocity of water in channel will not affect the Riverbank. Riparian buffer zone widths more than 30 m are very useful for bank stabilization and aquatic food web.\u003Cbr>Dredger can target the desired or planned area anywhere in the river and provides better selective and design capabilities | Excavator only has a limited access along the river shoreline causing higher risks of cave in shore land and river widening which may not be desirable.\u003Cbr>Excavators damage the riverbank. |\n| Extraction with dredger will lower riverbed will increase flow carrying capacity during high flood period, it will also reduce the flood risk in that area. | Excavator cause erosion at the riverbanks, resulting in","cbCaivWkHXgvOfgI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivWkHXgvOfgI","pdf",3999139,194,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Title and Location of the Project\n## Proponent and Report Preparation\n## Description of the Project\n## Magnitude, Extraction, Depth, and Storage\n## Loading, Transportation, and Water Consumption\n## Project Category and Objectives\n## Benefits\n## Comparison of Dredger Machine and Excavator\n## Mitigation Measures","[{\"question\":\"What project is assessed in this EIA executive summary?\",\"answer\":\"The assessment covers sand extraction from River Ravi using a dredger machine in Mandi Faizabad Zone, District Sheikhupura.\"},{\"question\":\"How will the dredger extract sand from the riverbed?\",\"answer\":\"The dredger will extract a mixture of water and sand (40% water and 60% sand) from the riverbed in a layer-by-layer approach up to an overall mining depth of 5 meters at about 1 meter depth layers.\"},{\"question\":\"Which key mitigation measures are planned to reduce environmental risks?\",\"answer\":\"Measures include identifying deposition areas first, regular equipment inspection to prevent oil/fuel leaks, preventing maintenance-related spills within permit boundaries, avoiding washing in the watercourse, using spill kits, monitoring stockpile drainage, maintaining extraction away from riparian zones, and limiting extraction to the replenishment rate during the rainy season.\"}]","ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) - SAND EXTRACTION WITH DREDGER MACHINE - Executive Summary | PDF",1789196902,68]
