Question

how is land being degraded?suggest method to conserve land resource

Answer 1

Untreated waste from the industries is let out in the surrounding areas leading to landand water pollution. Over grazing. Conservation measures. Planting of shelter belts of plants to prevent wind erosion. control on over grazing. Stabilisation of sand dunes by growing thorny bushes. Control of mining activities.

Answer 2

Indiscriminate use of resources and pollution caused by man is leading to degradation of land. Industries dump their waste openly and non degradable polythene bags are disposed off in landfills. Indiscrimate use of chemical fertilisers is one of the biggest contributing factors to land degradation. Deforestation results in loosening of the top soil and leads to easy erosion. Therefore man's activities are leading to land degradation.

To conserve land resources, sustainable development will have to be practiced. It is rightly said, nature has enough for man's need not man's greed. Therefore using timber but planting new trees in place of the ones cut will and segregation of waste and stopping dumping of plastic with other degradable waste will go a long way in helping restore land to its previous healthy state. enforcing strict laws against industries openly dumping their waste will have a prohibitive effect on such industries and make them treat their waste and find better ways of disposing their waste.
