Agricultural practices relating to irrigation have the tendency to reduce the water level of river basins.

<h3>What are the effects of irrigation agriculture on river basins?</h3>

Irrigation agriculture requires that crops are watered artificially and this requires a water source. Hence, waters in river basins suffer and this leads to a reduction in their levels.

Water quality is impacted by agricultural practices such as the use of agrochemicals and fertilizers. Agrochemicals are washed into water bodies and this impacts biodiversity life in water.

One conservation strategy to reduce the impact of this kind of agricultural practice would be to practice organic farming. A farming practice that is devoid of using agrochemicals or the ones that are not poisonous to biodiversity and are biodegradable.

how would you answer a person who says that the geologic column gives support for an earth that is at least 4.6 billion years ol
liubo4ka [24]
<span>The geologic column is a graphic representation of the layers of rock that make up the earth’s crust. By compiling data from local areas, scientists have constructed a composite picture of the earth. Evolutionists would have us believe that this is also a picture of the 4.5 billion year history of the earth. Using a bit of circular reasoning, the geologic column is used as support for biologic evolution, which is then sometimes used to confirm the order of the layers in the geologic column.</span>
