The Impacts And Effects Of Overpopulation In India

Human societies since the beginning of time have probably committed more land to Agricultural production than for any other purpose. Demand for land especially for Agricultural production in many parts of the globe is on the increase. Studies have revealed that the rise in demand for food to feed the world’s teaming population, the increased demand for agricultural output to produce alternative energy, high agricultural product prices are amount other factors that have caused a surge in the demand for agricultural land globally.

Overpopulation is a hot topic that is becoming a well-known problem that world faces. Population growth creates negative effects to the environment in Australia. Not only the number of people, but also the lifestyle, consumption patterns, and regions people inhabit and use directly affect the environment. Because of the high population and for their wants and needs

Environmental Issues: Increased population has led to the clearing of land for farming and the farming of marginal soils in rural areas, as well as to uncontrolled development in the fringes of urban areas. All of these factors contribute to deforestation and consequently to soil erosion.

For a long time, India has been experiencing a huge population growth. In fact, it will pass the population in China. However, the population growth has not matched it overpopulation growth. Despite the large population, India has a huge labor force. The quality of the jobs in India is awful and even though they can use all of their people. They can’t use them well. Because people have low paying jobs. The government doesn’t have enough money to handle the large population. As a result, their infrastructure is poor, which means people can’t go to different places so that people can’t get jobs. The lack of education is also a big issue for the people and the government because the government doesn’t make as much money if people aren’t getting jobs or getting low paid jobs. Many of people living in India is also causing environmental issues it creates health problems. Therefore, India population has the potential to be highly productive, but the huge amount of people in India makes it extremely hard for India to grow and develop.

The capacity of natural resources is one of the most essential information to indicate how many people would fit in this planet. Aquifers and river basins are two of the natural water resources that to supply drinking water, industry and agricultural irrigation. In the analysis report of the water supply and demand in the Colorado River Basin, water use from the Colorado River Basin has tripled since 1923, and started passing beyond the amount of water supply in 2000 (Katel). Since then, the reserved river resources became imbalanced and started decreasing every year. The rapidly growth of population and impropriated human activities are two of the main reasons that destroy the pervious balancing ecosystem. With the population growth increasing, the world will consume more water, grain, and food, and creating more wastes than before. In fact, there are around 70% of accessible fresh water to use globally in agricultural businesses and to produce grain to feed people and livestock, but 60% of this is wasted due to the leaky irrigation system and inefficient application of methods as

The term overpopulation is a undesirable condition where the number of existing human population exceeds the carrying capacity of the earth or a country. Three countries currently that are suffering from overpopulation today would be: China, india and the United States. Three major Social issues that contribute to overpopulation are Poverty, Immigration and the lack of family planning. Poverty may be the leading cause of overpopulation because these people are likely to be uneducated on topics, such as family planning. In many countries having a big family is somewhat essential because of gender roles and how a male is valued more to a family then a female. The lack of fertility treatment and education leads to overpopulation because both male and female are uneducated on the topic. Without exposure or education on how to prevent unwanted pregnancies it leads to overpopulation.

Overpopulation, which is the increase of human population on Earth, is one of the most harmful environmental problems going on in today's society. As the rate of deaths has decreased, the rate of births has gone up drastically. As the human population grows more in quantity in little time, there are numerous effects that it is having on production for human necessities that later harm the Earth. This is truly a problem as studies show that by 2025, almost half of the world will be facing problems with access to freshwater and 70% of all freshwater on Earth will be going towards human demand. Later on, this can evolve into many other problems that can lead to, as shown by studies, the next mass extinction. The origin of this problem all started out during the Industrial Revolution. As said by many, the Industrial Revolution changed the face of the planet. As more buildings and jobs were made, more people worked and got paid better and had the opportunity to have children because they were finally able to sustain them. Greater food production, new medicines, and better sanitation are some of the many factors that led to higher birth rates and lower death rates. Overpopulation on Earth is a problem to humans because of the negative effects on human necessities leading to climate change.

According to BBC, India 's population reached nearly 1.21bn ("India census: population goes up to 1.21bn"). China is also has the population of 1.36bn according to Chinese Government ("China Statistical Yearbook-2014"). That 's almost the half of the Earth 's population.

Rural developing areas: Environmentally and socially, “when farms become too small to support the next generation” (Wright & Boorse 2011, p. 204-205), they tend to work the land harder and never letting it rest. When this takes place several things can occur, “deterioration of the soil, decreased productivity(ironically), and erosion.” (Wright & Boorse 2011, p. 205).

Can you believe that the global population has been grown up to 3.7 billion in the past 50 years (Baldini, 2015). It still increases at an extremely high rate, and will reach 90 billion in the year 2050. The population is not the only issue which has been increasing rapidly, some negative effects also have increased. In this research paper, I will discuss two major negative effects on the environment that have occurred due to the great number of human population which includes the changing of natural resources, and the effects of living on the earth.

The Green Revolution hopes to avert global hunger crises by enabling developing nations to be self sufficient. The goal is to replace old agricultural traditions with newer Western practices. Developing nations can increase their total yields by using genetically engineered seeds, large irrigation projects, and prolific quantities of fertilizer. The aim of this paper is examine the methods of the Green Revolution, and their effects on the soils of the Punjab region in India.

First and foremost, the high birth rate in India is the main root of the overpopulation. The high fertility rate is due to the impecunious of the country. To counter this, the nations give birth to more children, hoping that there will be more income resources. Besides, the people count upon that the survivability of their children is low and thus they keep producing more children. Moreover, most of

The poor performance of agriculture in many low income countries is due to the deterioration of the natural resource base. The major problem which limiting the development of the agricultural sector is the land degradation which is caused by soil erosion as well as nutrient depletion. This is an enormously serious problem especially in the tropical steep lands where rain fed agriculture comprises the major livelihoods of the people. A number of these countries have numerous soil and water conservation programs which have tried to mitigate the land degradation problem but have done so unsuccessfully.

Land degradation is a process in which the value of the biophysical environment is affected by a combination of human-induced processes acting upon the land. Pakistan is a arid to semi arid country. The natural resource base of land, water and vegetation in arid and semi arid areas is highly fragile and extremely vulnerable to degradation. The total geographical area of Pakistan is 79.6 mha out of which 34.44% is arable. The population of Pakistan is over 180 million and it is increasing at the rate of 2.6% per annum (Zia et al., 2003). This can lead to over-exploitation of natural resources, including soil. Other factors are also contributing to land degradation. For example good agricultural-land for crop-production is shrinking as a result of fragmentation, rapid converting of productive agricultural land into
