Abstract
The spread of humans throughout the world has resulted in agriculture being the predominant form of land management worldwide. Human impact on the land is increasing due to rapid population growth and rising food demand. A key challenge for the agricultural sector is to feed a growing world population while reducing environmental impacts and conserving natural resources for future generations. Agriculture can have a significant impact on the environment. While negative impacts are severe and can include pollution and degradation of soil, water, and air, agriculture can also have positive impacts on the environment, for example, by sequestering greenhouse gases in plants and soils or mitigating flood risks through the use of certain agricultural practices. Kamala Markandaya, a conscious lover of nature, addresses environmental issues in her sixth novel, The Coffer Dams (1969). This article examines how an industrial plant disrupts the ecological harmony of a tranquil place. This study is an attempt to shed light on the following issues. Environmental problems such as urbanization, deforestation and noise pollution caused by a dam project in a hilly area, Malnad. Tribal Area, Malnad in South India. The study highlights the harmful effects of technology on ecology.
