    Answer: (b) Over irrigation
    In Punjab the major cause of land
    degradation is over-irrigation. Overirrigation leads to water logging
    which in turn leads to increase in
    alkalinity and salinity in the soil.
    Western Uttar Pradesh and Haryana
    also faces land degradation due to
    over-irrigation.
