.I chose this topic because I thought that it will be cool because I think mining is cool so I chose it I thought it would be easy but it was not ease. I liked that it was fun and you will to.
Mining Activities Cause Water Pollution
By Pax McBride
One day I was walking to Westchester then I said WOW! The water was mixed with murky colors. Fish were on the top so the fish were dead! That really didn’t happen, but if Westchester was close to a mine, it could.
How does mining cause water pollution?
Mining causes water pollution by putting acid and other junk into our water sources. This can kill fish and other animals that live in the water. Some pollution that comes from mining is called acid mine drainage. When you mine you expose sulfur dioxide {so2} and nitrogen oxide {no3} and this creates acid drainage. Acid mine drainage happens when metal gets in the water. The metal gets rusty. When it rains, the acid is moved from the mine to water. This can make fish die and other animals.
What can we do to stop water pollution from mining?
We should stop mining by the water so acid drainage will not get in the water. If it does, then it will pollute the water. This causes pollution to get into fish gills, water walkers, and other animals and plants. Because of the harmful things mining can do to water and all of the things that live in it, please don't mine close to the water.
