उत्तर

There is a strong need to conserve soil as an important natural resource because soil degradation leads to several harmful effects, such as:

  • Loss of fertile topsoil along with essential minerals
  • Decrease in the level of the groundwater table
  • Drying up of vegetation and expansion of arid regions, resulting in more frequent droughts and floods
  • Accumulation of silt in river and canal beds
  • Repeated occurrence of landslides
  • Negative impact on economic growth and cultural development
