Detailed Solution

Over irrigation is to be blamed for land degradation in Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh.
Because many farmers now utilise tubewells to irrigate their fields, they may over-irrigate the land to reduce the recurrence of irrigation and make the soil appropriate for more moisture-requiring crops. Over irrigation causes land deterioration owing to waterlogging, which increases salinity and alkalinity in the soil. It causes an increase in soil saline, reducing soil quality. It causes land degradation in Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh.
