How did placer mining hydraulics mining and hard rock mining different?

Placer mining involves extracting gold and other minerals from alluvial deposits using water to separate the valuable materials from sediments. Hydraulic mining, a subset of placer mining, utilizes high-pressure water jets to dislodge rock and soil, often causing environmental damage. In contrast, hard rock mining targets minerals embedded in solid rock, requiring drilling, blasting, and the use of heavy machinery for extraction. While placer and hydraulic mining primarily rely on water, hard rock mining focuses on extracting minerals from deeper geological formations.

How do you properly dispose of mining waste?

The mining waste is ,usually, called 'tailing'. We dispose of tailings in many ways like:-1. We build a pond and the tailing is pumped into it to allow sedimentation. This is beneficial as it forbids the fine particles to mingle with air causing air pollution.2. Nowadays, these are also dumped as landfills in required ares.3. If there is a hole or a trench that is to be filled, then also this tailing is used. In this case, it is mixed with cement and then is used as a filling material.4. Recently, a ditch is made beside a tree and the tailing is dumped into it, and then, the tailing is covered with earth. This method is known as Phytostabilisation.
