Indicate the hurdles in protecting water, soil, vegetation and wildlife.

Difficulty: Medium

Hurdles in protecting water, Soil, Vegetation and Wildlife:

          Water:

  1. Underground water resources are decreasing due to unnecessary use of water. It may cause problems like unavailability of water in future.
  2. Traditional and old methods of irrigation and farming are wasting water. Farmers should be trained as to how to use water.
  3. New water reservoirs (dams etc) are not constructed. It is causing massive water shortage and water wastage.
  4. While irrigating fields, a huge amount of water is wasted because canals and water channels are not cemented.
  5. We have no proper system of water shortage. As a result, a huge quantity of water goes unused and finally falls into the sea.

          Soil:

  1. The population of our country is increasing rapidly, whereas cultivated areas are decreasing.
  2. Salinity and water logging are affecting our soil very badly.
  3. Old and traditional methods of farming are used. It is not possible to increase the average yield of crops by using these methods.
  4. The fertility of soil decreases because same crops are grown repeatedly.
  5. Industrial and domestic wastage is affecting our soil.

         Vegetations:

  1. Unnecessary cutting of trees is resulting in a decrease of forests.
  2. Lack of rainfall is causing problems in growing forests.
  3. Increasing saline and water logging are decreasing the area of forests.
  4. Diseases of trees are also a cause of forests destruction.
  5. Environmental pollution is affecting the forests badly.

          Wildlife:

  1. Illegal hunting of wild animals and birds may cause a decline in the population of wildlife.
  2. Rapidly depleting water resources are affecting wildlife.
  3. Cutting down forests is also affecting wildlife.
  4. Rapid growth in the human population is also having negative effects on wildlife.
  5. The number of domestic animals in increasing. It is causing a decrease in pastures. So, the wildlife is affected.
