Answer 2

Answer:

1. Various human activities, such as the introduction of large scale irrigation canals, deforestation and faulty land use lead to accelerated soil degradation through salinization, flooding, drought, erosion and waterlogging. These processes, in turn, reduce agricultural productivity leading to social insecurity.
2. The most important type of land degradation in India is soil erosion (both by wind and water) (on 119 million ha), followed by shifting cultivation, waterlogging and salinity.
3. Excessive Population Pressure on Land: India's population of over 1000 million people is more than that of the whole world prior to the Industrial Revolution.
4. The main soil degradation process are:
5. (1) soil erosion by water and wind;
6. (2) Development of extreme soil reaction (acidification; salinization/alkalization);
7. (3) physical degradation (structural destruction; compaction; extreme moisture regime);
8. (4) biological degradation
