Human Environment Interaction

The Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers deposit rich soil to help farming.

• The rivers are slow-moving and are perfect to produce good farm soil. This results in a large concentrated population.

Many top-level consumers have been hunted, causing disruptions in food webs.

Deforestation, soil erosion, overgrazing, and desertification have been caused due to human influences.

The large population strains the ecosystem.

The building of dams disrupts the rivers.

• The dams disrupt the river ecosystems and many animals' habitats, but they give an area a constant source of energy and water.
