the water and population by as in people can die

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what if i said -Causes Famine Drought and poor land management contribute to famine. The soil is not suited for growing food; therefore the amount of food being made will decline. -People die of starvation -Cattle die of starvation -People near Affected Areas Desertification can cause flooding, poor water quality, dust storms, and pollution. All of these effects can hurt people living near an affected region. The soil becomes completely useless.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
