LAND RESOURCES
What is Land resources?
A land resource is that on which we live, perform our economic activities, and use it in many ways. What are the uses of land?
1) Recreational: fun, non-essentials like a park.
2) Agriculture: farmland.
3) Residential: Housing.
4) Transport: Roads, Railways, and Airports.
5) Commercial: Business and Factories.
What is the land use pattern in India?
In this land use is determined in two ways: Physical factors such as Topography, Climate, Soil types. Human factors such as Population density, Technological capability and culture, and tradition, etc. The total geographical area of India is 3.28 million sq km. land-use data is available only 93% of the total geographical area land under permanent pasture has decreased. Most of the lands are available in either poor quality or the cost of the land is very high. Hence these lands are cultivated once or twice in about two to three years.
NET SOWN area in some states. It is over 80% in Punjab and Haryana of the total area of less than 10% in Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, and Manipur. A part of the land is termed as wasteland. Wasteland includes such as rocky, arid, and desert areas. The use of non-agricultural land uses include settlements, roads, railways, and industry, etc.
LAND DEGRADATION.
We use the land for our basic needs like food, shelter, and clothing which are obtained from the land. Human activities have not done the degradation of the land but also damages the pace of natural forces to cause damage to the land.
Some human activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, mining, and quarrying too have contributed significantly to land degradation. Industrial effluents as waste have become a major source of land and water pollution in many parts of the country. There are some ways to solve problems of land degradation of land (conservation)
1) Afforestation.
2) Proper management of grazing.
3) Planting of shelter belts of plants.
4) Control on overgrazing.
