Answer:
Deforestation, overgrazing and mining, all are equally responsible for an increase in the rate of erosion by water. Water erosion is caused either by water in motion or by the beating action of rain drops. ... It causes land degradation through huge loss of top fertile soil along with plant nutrients through runoff water.It reduces the depth of soil where it takes place, depletes the ground water table, limits the moisture storage capacity and feeding zones of the crops, deteriorates the soil organic matter, destroys soil structure and impairs fertility due to nutrient losses.
