Sand And Gravel Extraction In River Jhelum

Stray dogs sit on the banks of the river as men extract sand and gravel using Pokeland in the river Jhelum in Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir, India, on February 1, 2025. Rivers are a key source of ecosystem services such as water, food, energy, and rocks. Within those ecosystem services, the extraction of riverbed material is a particularly important type of human activity in river ecosystems. Sand and gravel mining is a serious environmental problem around the globe in recent years (Photo by Nasir Kachroo/NurPhoto).
