2. Industrial Effluents mix up in water.
3. Burning of agriculture waste.
4. Rapidly used of automobiles and more transportation.
5. Emission of CO2 in atmosphere through coal combustion.
6. Emission of dust from rocks due to explosion and mining.
7. Population and gulf war.

Steps to prevent Ecological imbalance :

• Some important strategies, Plans and programmes for reducing the ecological imbalance in the ecosystem are given below.

1. Stop deforestation and grow trees.
2. Adopt appropriate management of industrial effluents.
3. Control pollution spreading through various factors.
4. Efficient use of natural resources.
