Question

6) Explain the reasons for forest degradation in
tungabhadro river basin​

Answer 1

Answer:

Industrial pollution has damaged the Tungabhadra River. Industry and mining on its banks in the Chikkamagaluru, Shimoga, Davangere, Haveri, Bellary, Koppal, Raichur districts of Karnataka and Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh generate enormous amounts of effluents. River Tungabhadra is the largest tributary of the river Krishna, contributing an annual discharge of 14,700 million m3 at its confluence point to the main river. Conflicts faced by the fishing communities were of various types and intensities - Industrial pollution, blasting, governance related and water sharing

Answer 2

Answer:

Cause of forest degradation

The main cause of deforestation is agriculture (poorly planned infrastructure is emerging as a big threat too) and the main cause of forest degradation is illegal logging. We're losing 18.7 million acres of forests annually, equivalent to 27 soccer fields every minute.
