Mining will tax area's natural resources |
The project needs more than rich forests. It requires power generation as well as roads to transport minerals. The environmental impacts of the project are linked.
According to the project's eia report, the mines alone will consume around 33,000 tonnes of water per year. This will be sourced from the Tel river at Kesinga through a 65-km pipeline. The river is an important source of irrigation and drinking water for people in Bolangir district downstream. Researchers with the Centre for Science and Environment's (cse's) Green Rating Project, say the daily water consumption at the mine would meet the water requirements of 600,000 people
