Environmental Problems: Some of the notable problem of environment can be identified as under:
(a) Land Air And Water: Pollution of land and water has affected plants, animals and human beings. The quality of soil is deterioration resulting in the loss of agricultural land. The loss is estimated to be about five to seven million hectares of land each year. Soil erosion, as a result of wind and/or water,. Costs the world dearly. The recurring floods have their own peculiar casualties like deforestation, sli in the riverbed, inadequate and improper drainage, loss of men and property. The vast oceans, after being turned into dumping grounds for all nuclear wastes, have poisoned and polluted the whole natural environment.
(b) Population Growth: Population growth more people to eat and breathe, an putting an excessive pressure on land and forest, and ultimately disturbing the ecological balance.
The world commission on environment and development (the burnt land commission) submitted its report highlighted and population the concept of 'sustainable development’ sustainable has been defined on meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the need of future generations. All developmental activities some amount environment as a result of development, an strike a balance between development and environmental protection. The aim should be to achieve sustainable levels of people's welfare and development. The primary concern is how many people can ultimately be supported by
environment and at what level of quality of life. on Our growing population is putting pressure land, leading to poor quality of productivity deforestation (the loss of forest land so necessary for ecological balance order., loss of wildlife heritage and ultimately dwindling of several species. The growing population is not only a problem environment;it is a problem for any other aspect of environment,say for example social, economic, political.
