Review of the Research on the Relationship Between Intensive Agriculture and Water Resources Management and Environment
Abstract
In this study, the purpose is to review the literature on water pollution and environmental impact caused by intensive agriculture. Human activities have greatly caused problems in the relationship between water use and environment in agricultural economy under climate uncertainty. Take the semi-arid area as an example. They are faced with a serious shortage of water resources, and at the same time, they are attacked by various kinds of pollution, which reduces the use function of water bodies. After the economic and social development, which focuses on agricultural water use, it has caused serious environmental damage to water ecosystems. Therefore, there are many health hazards related to the use of wastewater. This study puts forward some suggestions on preventive measures applicable to each site, which may ensure the overall safety.
