Detailed Solution

The given statement is false. Excessive mining activities and deforestation cause land degradation in states like Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh. Jharkhand has rich mineral reserves. It is a major source of coal and iron ore, which are industrially important. Control over mining activities and recovery of mine spoils can control land degradation in these areas. Waterlogging is when land gets saturated with water such that there is excess water content in the soil. Such a condition negatively influences plant growth. Overirrigation, poor drainage systems, heavy rainfall, and flooding could lead to waterlogging. Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana face water logging due to over-irrigation.
Thus, the correct statement would be that excessive mining activities and deforestation lead to land degradation in Jharkhand.
