Hydraulic mining was a mining technique first used in 1853. in this type of mining, high-pressured jets of water were used to extract silver and gold from the earth. which of the following best explains why the practice was discontinued?

Hydraulic mining, or hydraulicking, is a form of mining that uses high-pressure jets of water to dislodge rock material or move sediment. In the placer mining of gold or tin, the resulting water-sediment slurry is directed through sluice boxes to remove the gold. It is also used in mining kaolin and coal.

HOPE THIS HELPES

Hydraulic mining was incorporated earlier for gold and silver mining, in which the extremely high pressure water jets are used to remove the overlying rocks in order to obtain economic minerals.

This use of hydraulic mining has been terminated for the following reasons such as-
