Development of Environmental Quality Index for Environmental Sustainability and in Surface Mines in West Bengal

Dr. Shatrajit Goswami

Abstract: Environmental quality index can be used as an indicator to monitor and regulate mining operations and ensure long-term environmental sustainability. It can be viewed as a mining footprint, which is surrogate of the environmental impacts of mining. In this paper, a methodological framework is developed to demonstrate how environmental quality index can be used as an indicator of environmental degradation
