Acid mine drainage is water containing sulfurbearing minerals produced from mining activities. The drainage is formed by a chemical reaction between water and rocks containing pyrite, a sulfurbearing mineral in rocks exposed during ore or coal mining. The water is typically acidic because water flowing through or over sulfurbearing minerals react to produce acidic aqueous solutions.

Sulfi des may also be exposed by natural processes or construction projects, and then the resulting contaminated waters are called acid rock drainage. In the USA alone, over 15,000 kilometers of rivers are polluted ... acid production and Fe2+ release.

The resulting effluent is known as acid drainage (also acid rock drainage (ARD) or acid mine drainage (AMD)). As the water becomes more acidic, its capacity to leach other elements from the rock, such as metals, increases and is known as metal leaching (ML).

MANAGEMENT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE (AMD) IN INDIAN COAL MINES 1165 the agriculture productivity, the main source of rural economy in the areas nearby the mining sites, is dwindling year by year and the people are gradually giving up such activity. Apart from lowering of agricultural output, the mining has also caused acute scarcity of animal fodder.
