Question

Effect of land dereliction

Answer 1

Dereliction, like accelerated soil erosion, de­forestation, overfishing and air and water pollution, results from the ruthless exploitation of natural re­sources without consideration for the future. In particular, most dereliction is the result of thought­less and uncontrolled mineral extraction and pro­cessing.

Derelict land is theoretically land which has been abandoned as useless or as too badly damaged to repay a private person to improve it. But much land which does not fall into these cate­gories, such as land still used for tipping by mining companies , subsided land, contaminated land, and in many cases working mines and quarries, all share similar characteristics. They are ugly, denuded of vegetation, laced with stagnant pools of water, or covered with mine tailings or slag.
