You can help stop hydraulic mining by advocating for stricter regulations on mining activities, supporting organizations that work to protect water sources from mining pollution, and educating others about the negative environmental impacts of hydraulic mining. Additionally, you can participate in local clean-up efforts to help mitigate the effects of mining pollution in affected areas.
Hydraulic mining used a water cannon (called a monitor) to wash the hillside down and into a huge sluice box which separated the Gold from the dirt and gravel.
