What is water logging?

Water logging is a condition in which excess water accumulates in the soil, often due to poor drainage or prolonged rainfall, leading to saturated soil conditions. This can hinder agricultural productivity by damaging crops, promoting root rot, and creating an environment conducive to pests and diseases. It can also negatively impact infrastructure and ecosystems. Effective management practices, such as improved drainage systems and soil conservation techniques, are essential to mitigate water logging.
