This paper presents a review on previous activities of mining on water resources around active and abandoned mines/quarries across Ebonyi State,South-Eastern,Nigeria.As high demand for water increases due to population growth and rapid development across the state,it is of upmost importance to periodically review water quality and also monitor water resources.However,less information is available on evaluation of impact on mining activities on water resources.For the purpose of this research,related articles were downloaded from Google,published article on effect of mining on water resources was download and thoroughly studied to evaluate effect of mining on water resources of the study area.Findings revealed that past mining activities has lead to chains of complex chemical reactions that has altered the quality of water resources.
