Groundwater Project at Sand Mining Site in Dengkil Selangor

Half day visit to an active sand mining site with other members of my group. The visit was part of the groundwater modeling project that will be carried out on this site. The study will also involve drilling and conducting a resistivity survey. The main objective of the study is to investigate the potential impact of sand mining on the groundwater regime (and quality) at the study area.
Picture shows the overview of an open pit mine at the study area. The top soil is considered as an overburden (about 5 m thick) and it was removed to expose the clean sand underneath. The thickness of the sand is approximately 15 m. Discussion on site with the other consultants.
This was the best part of the field trip when the front tyres of our 4WD Hilux (white) were trapped in a wet and slippery muddy road.
