This poisoned soil is why nothing often grows near mines. The most pressing effect of poisoning the topsoil, as that this eventually reaches groundwater. In the Western United States, 40 percent of headwaters have been contaminated with runoff from mines at one point. In countries with fewer regulations, this issue can become much worse.

Water quality can have a detrimental effect on process efficiency and recovery, but it is often the last place that mine operators look when experiencing a drop in recovery. Water hardness (high concentration of CaCO 3 and MgCO 3 ) in process waters can cause scaling of pipelines, which results in reduced throughput.

In general, most pond water can hold about 10 to 12 mg/L of oxygen. Dissolved oxygen is reduced by the biological decay of organic material such as decaying plants and animals or animal and human wastes. Dissolved oxygen levels below about 6 mg/L can begin to have detrimental effects on pond life.

Effects on Food And Beverage. Iron in drinking water causes it to develop an unpleasant metallic taste. If you use this water to make any beverages such as tea or coffee, their taste also gets affected. Also, water with high iron content will blacken fruits, vegetables, and other foods cooked in it and spoil the flavor.
