    Solution

    Explanation: In many areas, Green Revolution is associated with the loss of soil fertility due to increased use of chemical fertilisers. Also, continuous use of groundwater for tube well irrigation has led to the depletion of the water-table. Environmental resources, like soil fertility and groundwater, are built up over years.
