According to the person in charge of the relevant units of Fankou Mine, the underground of Fankou Mine is a famous "water tiger" in the mainland, and the early use of dredging and mining has caused some ecological and environmental problems, mainly due to the decline of the groundwater level caused by long-term shallow drainage, which causes karst ground collapse, tailings shelving to destroy the water and soil environment, and waste rock tailings sand accumulation to destroy the topographic and geomorphological landscape.
