Abstract

In the previous chapters, the nature and scope of AMD were discussed. The different responses to AMD were also identified. In view of the fact that the objective of this book is to investigate whether the government’s policy response is appropriate for the dynamics of AMD, it is important to determine what its socio-economic impacts are or could be. The impacts of AMD can then be linked to the policy response. This chapter, therefore, discusses the socio-economic impacts of AMD. It incorporates the environmental, social, economic and health impacts that contaminated mine water has or could have on communities who live in areas surrounding a mine.
