Population Density Of England
Central to understanding environmental issues and their solutions is studying population trends. Population growth accelerates environmental problems like water and air pollution. Stresses on natural resources can affect not only the health of the environment but also the health of the people. The lack of services such as water, sanitation and drainage along with water and air pollution facilitates the spread of diseases.
To ease the negative environmental impact of a growing population, scientists seek to understand the characteristics of populations. Predicting the growth, stability or decline of our population is essential when we must make decisions about managing the finite amount of resources available on the earth.
