Mining and washing process on alluvial tin exploitation activity at Bangka Area, West Bangka and South Bangka in general to causes the formation of mine void. Especially on tin ore washing process will produces tailing (waste of tin washing process) which still contains associated minerals and deposited in the former mining pond. The accumulation of the tailings will affect the groundwater (aquifer) around the pond, especially in terms of groundwater quality.
