The best mining practices depend on several factors, first the type/material of extraction and second the land characteristics. Nonetheless, there are some key points that we can highlight in the mining process, such as mitigation equipment (sprinklers, tents, sinks, etc.) that help reduce air pollution as well and one of the most important, efficient use of water and proper management that avoid water pollution and water tables pollution. In many cases, mitigation measures make the process harder and/or more expensive therefore many mining companies do not implement such measures and must be practically forced by the local authorities to implement them.
