Picture of the day

A panoramic view of the gravel pit near Kongensbro, Denmark, which is operated by BG Stone. Gravel pits are open-pit mines for extraction of gravel and often lie in river valleys where the water table is high. As such, pits may naturally fill with water, and abandoned ones are often used as nature reserves or as amenity areas for water sports, landfills and walking.Photograph: Slaunger; edit: David Iliff

More reputable sources needed for gravel pit production

There are lots of sources that discuss gravel pit production but they are mostly company websites with some nonprofit organization websites, but there is a lack of scholarly articles on the subject. If those are found they need to be added to the article. EBCarleton (talk) 18:32, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

More information about gravel pits globally needed

The article mainly cites information about gravel pits in the US, UK, and Canada because all its sources are in English and therefore mainly represent information about primarily English speaking countries, and because I am in Canada the majority of my search results when finding information for the article are Canadian websites. For the article to truly represent gravel pit operations globally it needs sources from other countries. EBCarleton (talk) 18:37, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
