Detailed Solution

Punjab has an irregular rainfall pattern and is one of the major wheat-producing states. This calls for large-scale irrigation in Punjab. In Punjab, over-irrigation is responsible for land degradation.
Also, in the states of Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, over-irrigation has led to land degradation because of water logging. This increases the salinity and alkalinity of the soil. Salinity is the accumulation of salts on the top layer of the soil. Thus the soil becomes unfit for cultivation.
