Waterlog
Waterlog is a term often used to describe the condition of being saturated with water, typically in relation to soil or land. This can occur due to heavy rainfall, flooding, or poor drainage, leading to excess water accumulation. Waterlogged areas can negatively impact plant growth and agricultural productivity, as roots may struggle to access oxygen.
In environmental science, waterlogging is a significant concern for ecosystems and agriculture. It can lead to soil degradation and affect the health of plants and crops. Effective management practices, such as proper drainage systems, are essential to mitigate the effects of waterlogging and maintain soil health.
