Water Degradation
• Decrease in the quantity and quality of both surface
and ground water and increased risk of downstream
flood damage
Land Conversion
• Dwindling arable and forestlands due to land use
change such as urban settlements, industrial parks,
roads, and golf courses.
Biodiversity Degradation
• Reduction in the diversity of species. The most
extreme form of degradation is the extinction of
some species of fauna and flora.
• For one, watershed
