Hello,

Environmental degradation is a process through which the natural environment is compromised in some way, reducing biological diversity and the general health of the environment.

The primary cause of environmental degradation is human disturbance. ... Environmental changes are based on factors like urbanization, population and economic growth, increase in energy consumption and agricultural intensification.

Control Of Environmental Degradation

• Minimising the use of water for processing by reusing and recycling it in two or more successive stages.
• Harvesting of rainwater to meet water requirement.
• Overdrawing of ground water reserves needs to be regulated legally.
• Smoke can be reduced by using oil or gas instead of coal in factories

Hope this helps!!!
