Question 5

Unsustainable sand mining from the riverbeds of Kerala's major rivers poses significant environmental and socio-economic challenges. From an ecological and hydrological perspective, which of the following represents the most critical direct impact of excessive sand extraction on the riverine ecosystem and surrounding areas?

Accepted Answer

B. Lowering of the riverbed and water table, resulting in reduced groundwater recharge, destabilization of riverbanks, and exposure of bridge foundations. — Excessive sand mining directly lowers the riverbed.

Answer

A. Alteration of the river's natural meandering pattern, leading to increased flood risk in upstream regions.
