2. Excessive Use of Fertilizers and Pesticides
3. Livestock including overgrazing and overdrafting
4. Agricultural depletion of soil nutrients because of poor farming practices. Soil Salination (due to excessive irriagtion, use of chemical fertilizers/pesticides, improper drainage facility, water logging)
5. Quarrying of stone, sand, ore and minerals
6. Urban sprawl (Unrestricted expansion over large areas of land, with little concern for urban planning, in certain urban areas with housing, industrial construction and roads) and commercial development
7. Inappropriate irrigation[8] and overdrafting (extracting groundwater beyond  aquifer)
8. Dumping of non-biodegradable trash, such as plastics
9. Monoculuture ( agricultural practice of growing/producing a single crop)

Natural Causes

1. Soil erosion
2. Desertification (climatic variations and human activities)
3. Wastelands
4. Landslides, Rainfall etc
5. Climate Change
