Sand is among the most mined minerals on the planet. Rampant sand mining from riverbeds alters a river's ecology. While sand-mining is a regulated activity, on-ground, this is a thriving illegal trade. Illegal sand mining is an invisible problem since no data on sand-mining exists in India. The Foundation is supporting Veditum to build an open platform which will crowd-source information on sand-mining from primary sources in an attempt to quantify and visibilise this problem.
