摘要：Aims: Extraction of coal by the opencast (OC) method generates huge amounts of waste materials due to the removal of overlying rock and soil. These materials (overburden) are dumped near the mining site. Thus, anthropogenic landforms like mine pits, spoil dumps, and overburden dumps have been formed, which changes the topography of mining site. Rivers are affected by OC mines, as the alteration of topography disrupts the natural drainage system of the mining site, and the flow of rivers is largely affected. With this background, the objective of the present research work is to identify the nature and extent of stream degeneration by OC coal mining.
