Detailed Solution

Over irrigation is the main cause of land degradation in Punjab.
Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh are responsible for land degradation due to over-irrigation. Over irrigation leads to Water logging, making the soil swampy and dense. This leads to a rise in salinity and alkalinity in the soil, causing land degradation. It causes a reduction in food production and drying up of water resources.
