Produktinformationen "A Bitter Legacy: Coal Mining, Acid Mine Drainage, and the Fight for Clean Water"
"A Bitter Legacy" delves into the toxic consequences of coal mining – acid mine drainage (AMD). It explores the historical legacy of coal mining and how it has left a bitter mark on the environment, especially water resources. The book sheds light on the process of AMD formation, where abandoned mines pollute waterways with sulfuric acid and harmful metals. This book isn't just about the problem; it's about the fight for clean water. It tells the stories of communities impacted by AMD and their ongoing struggle for solutions. "A Bitter Legacy" explores efforts to remediate contaminated water sources, hold mining companies accountable, and advocate for sustainable practices in the industry. It's a call to action for a cleaner future and a reminder of the importance of protecting our water resources.
