	SEBRA Protecting the Island's Riverbeds - Jamaica Information Service
		Speaking to JIS News on the effects of the extraction of sand and gravel from the river, Dr. Mitchell says a model of the Rio Minho system has been made examining the geology, land use, mining activities, river flow (gradient) and rainfall, all of which control the amount of sediment in the river.
		The SEBRA Project has so far revealed that if mining were increased in the Rio Minho, the resource would be adversely affected as, due to the re-vegetation of hillsides, the volume of sediments is not being transported into the rivers as it was former years.
		According to Commissioner of the Mines and Geology Division, Coy Roache, the aim is to prevent depletion of Rio Minho and Yallahs reaching the level of the Rio Cobre and Hope River.
