Study Notes

Environmental Degradation

  • Refers to the destruction of the natural environment
  • The natural environment consists of land, water, air, plants and animals
  • Human activities can be carried out efficiently in a well-kept environment
  • Improper use of the environment leads to the environment losing its value, which affects crop and livestock production
  • Effects include loss of soil fertility, resulting in decline in crop and livestock production
  • Manufacturing industries produce smoke and dust, which cause air pollution
  • Air pollution may cause respiratory diseases like cough and flu
  • Improper disposal of industrial waste causes water pollution

Human Activities Contributing to Environmental Degradation

  • Human activities, if not done properly, can contribute to environmental degradation
  • Such activities include crop cultivation, livestock keeping, fishing manufacturing and mining

Crop Cultivation

  • Involves growing various crops
  • Includes both food and cash crops
  • Food crops include maize, rice, cassava, millet, sorghum, banana and groundnuts
  • Cash crops include cotton, coffee, sisal, cashew nuts, and tea
  • These crops are cultivated in different parts of the country depending on the climate of a given area
  • Crop cultivation provides us with food and raw materials for industries
  • It gives countries foreign and domestic currency when crops are sold
  • It gives countries an identity through the production of raw materials and crops that are exported
  • Tanzania is famous for quality cashew nuts, which are cultivated in Mtwara, and cotton, which is cultivated in Mwanza
  • Provides employment to many people in Tanzania

Poor crop cultivation practices impact on the environment

  • Crop farming activities can cause environmental degradation if they are not done properly
  • Cultivating crops on steep slopes without terraces results in soil erosion
  • Shifting cultivation that involves clearing trees or forests leads to soil erosion and drought
  • Improper use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides reduces natural soil fertility and kills living organisms in the soil
  • These organisms are useful in breaking down organic materials to release nutrients into the soil
  • Improper crop farming practices lead to the loss of natural vegetation, leaving the soil bare and susceptible to soil erosion
  • Another effect is the drying of water sources
  • These practices can affect living organisms, including human beings, animals and insects because they may die of hunger and diseases

Addressing Poor Crop Cultivation

  • They usage of terraces
  • Third, crop rotation can also be used on slopes controls soil erosion by run-off
  • Growing more than one crop in the same area/farm increases soil fertility
  • A farmer can plant maize then beans (leguminous plants), which increase soil fertility
  • Using more organic fertilizers than chemical ones is beneficial
  • Organic fertilizers include humus or animal manure
  • Planting in bare land and in places where shifting cultivation happens prevents soil erosion
  • Planting trees on the slopes of mountains controls soil erosion

Livestock keeping

  • Is the activity which deals with animal rearing
  • Animals include cattle, goats, sheep, chickens, and ducks
  • There are is zero grazing, free-range rearing, and nomadic pastoralism
  • In zero grazing, animals are kept and fed in a confined place
  • Allows one to keep only a few animals
  • Cattle, goats, and sheep are kept on large farms owned by the state, companies or some individuals
  • Named ranches
  • Ranches in Tanzania are in Kongwa District and West Kilimanjaro
  • In free-range rearing, pastoralists take their livestock into grazing areas in the morning and take them back home in the evening
  • In nomadic pastoralism, pastoralists move with their livestock from place to place, looking for pasture and water to new areas
  • Is common Mwanza, Mara, Shinyanga, Tabora, Singida, Dodoma, Kilimanjaro and Arusha
  • The ethnic groups who practice nomadic pastoralism are the Masai, Barbaig, Sukuma, Nyamwezi, Meru and Gogo

Benefits of livestock keeping

  • Is the provision of meat, milk, skin, hoofs and manure is provided
  • Animal skins are used to make items such as shoes, bags, belts, and drums
  • Hoofs are used to make glue
  • Manure is used in crop cultivation

Poor livestock impacts on the environment

  • Overgrazing is keeping a large number of animals in a small area
  • It will leave the land bare, animals feed on all vegetation cover
  • Animals compact and harden the soil
  • Which is called soil erosion The process is called soil erosion

Water sources

  • Water is an important resource to living organisms
  • The main sources of water are underground, surface, and rain water
  • When it rains, some of the water flows on the surface of the earth and some infiltrates into the ground where it’s stored in rocks
  • Groundwater can come to the surface through springs, wells, or rivers
  • Water is used for domestic purposes like cooking, drinking, bathing, and washing clothes
  • Water is used in industries for cooling and processing raw materials
  • Water is used for irrigation and generating hydroelectric power
  • In generating electricity, water is used to turn a turbine whose force generates electricity
  • Hydroelectric power stations in Tanzania are the Nyumba ya Mungu in Kilimanjaro, Mtera in Iringa, and Kidatu in Morogoro

Degrading Sources of water

  • Many human activities can negatively impact water sources
  • Cultivating crops close to water sources and feeding livestock there is destructive
  • Cutting down trees and burning forests also degrades water sources
  • Disposing domestic and industrial waste into or near water sources contaminates water
  • Establishing settlements close to sources of water can cause these sources to dry up

The Negative Effects of Water Source Degradation

  • Has various negative effects on living organisms
  • Includes shortage of water for domestic and industrial use
  • Also negatively impacts on agricultural and fishing activities
  • The pollution of water sources causes diseases such as typhoid, cholera, diarrhoea and dysentery

Conserving Water Sources

  • Conserve water by planting water-saving trees such as figs around water sources
  • It is also advisable to stop cultivating crops or building houses near sources of water
  • Domestic and industrial waste should not be directed into sources of water
  • Avoid cutting down indigenous trees around sources of water
  • Enforce the laws that restrict the carrying out of economic activities around water sources
  • Communities should be educated on the importance of water

Silting and Nomadic pastoralism impacts

  • Soil ends up in into dams and other water reservoirs and causes silting
  • Volume decreases and may lead to dams and other water reservoirs drying
  • Eventual causes causes shortage of water for domestic use and for livestock
  • Settlement and animals cause deforestation, also people using trees causes degradation

Strategies of animals

  • Avoid large number
  • The grazing area will be enough to the numbers
  • Which will reduce soil erosion
  • Educate about this to livestock keepers
  • Is zero grazing, livestock are kept at home and in small numbers
  • Also, ranching can be used to keep animals in a specified area and fed on hay

Manufacturing

  • Processing material using machines
  • Produces clothes, mattresses, cars, iron sheets, motorcycles, food products and drinks
  • Two kinds of manufacturing
  • Raw materials like cotton
  • Consumables like clothes

Benefits of manufacturing

  • Raw materials for industry and individual usage
  • Helps to provide national income
  • Foreigner currency
  • And employment

Negative impacts of manufacturing

  • Pollution to air water and land Toxic material
  • Dust and smoke affect people
  • Skin and respiratory diseases
  • Gases causes acid rain

Controlling negative impacts of manufacturing

  • Away from humans settlements
  • Treating gases from dust and smoking
  • Re-cycle materials. For example paper can get use.
  • Garbage into transformer
  • Sound proof for nose product

Mining intro

  • Mining is a process of extracting minerals from the earth.
  • Minerals are a collection of solid chemical substances which are found in the earth's crust

Minerals types

  • Gold, diamond, iron, coal, copper and salt are minerals
  • Salt by ocean water

  • Also, minerals like gold, silver and diamond can be used as ornaments.
  • Salt is used domestically as well as preserving food such as fish and meat.
  • Diamond is used to cut hard substances as well as glass.
  • We gain foreign exchange from minerals that are exported

Negative of Mining

  • Mining can cause environmental degradation
  • Can cause soil erosion and leave large ditches
  • Dust and smoke from mining sites pollute the air which cause human diseases
  • The chemicals used in mining such as mercury pollute the land and water sources
  • Mercury in the soil and water
  • Causes disease: respiratory, eye, ear infections, and other diseases affecting people who are allergic to dust
  • Cause Mercury gets to aquatic and hurts them
  • Floods because nature gone- Mererani and Geita

Ways reduces

  • Mining is to plant proper
  • Plant tress and the grasses get better area back and clean gaseous and liquid waste
  • To reduce of mining
  • They should always check
  • Miners should be given mining advice
  • And following laws

Fishing intro

Fishing is an activity which involves food and trade as well as catching fish

  • Lakes, rivers, dams and oceans as well as gray tilapia, mud fish and the Nile perch
