Brunette Girl Posing In The Sand

Agriculture: Sandy soils are ideal for crops such as watermelons, peaches, and peanuts, and their excellent drainage characteristics make them suitable for intensive dairy farming.
Aquaria: Sand makes a low cost aquarium base material which some believe is better than gravel for home use.
Artificial reefs: Geotextile bagged sand can serve as the foundation for new reefs.
Beach nourishment: Governments move sand to beaches where tides, storms or deliberate changes to the shoreline erode the original sand.
