प्रश्न
How does excessive irrigation lead to soil salinity ?
उत्तर
Excessive irrigation leads to soil salinity as it causes water logging. The evaporation of excess water concentrates salt at the soil surface. This causes an increase in the soil salinity. The crops die as the roots of the crop plants have limited access to oxygen and increased salinity.
