MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL
RESOURCES
When these resources are sourced and exploited from the nature they are
known as natural resources.
resources
Everything available in our environment which
can be used to satisfy our needs.
Culturally acceptable
Economically feasible
Technologically accessible
Using our resources cleverly, to sustain the resources and conserve the environment.
Sustainable management of our natural resources is very important for developing as a country
Now we will be looking at some of the most important natural resources and confronting with the ways to use them and do sustainable development.
Exploiting of resources in a very unthinking way can lead to many problems. And this can be faced by Awareness and by taking actions…
One such example is with Ganges (Ganga)
GANGA ACTION PLAN
• How can we make a difference???
The 3R’s to a more sustainably
developed future..
Reduce:
This means that we use less. We buy less and avoid creating waste. This is very simple to do as no energy is used in doing so.. Moreover it is conserved..
1. Turn off light after use and at day time.
2. Carpool or use public transports..
Recycle:
This means resynthesizing things which we don’t want and making new things which we want.
This may be a bit at sometimes as we need to segregate things first and there also consumption of energy.
REUSE:Using things more than one time. This better than recycle as there less energy consumption.
1. Instead of throwing away used envelope, reverse them and use them again.
2. Use plastic bottles that we get with food items to store thing in kitchen.
Forest and wildlife resource management.Forest are biodiversity hot spots. The main aim
for conversation is to try and preserve the
biodiversity. Loss of diversity may lead to a
loss of ecological stability.
People also contribute in management of
forest.
The Chipko movement is one of such. This was
started in Reni in Garhwal, high up in
Himalayas in 1970s.
Those who depend upon forest products. And also those who look after there conservation. These are the Stakeholders
1. The people who live in or around forests are dependent on forest products for their daily life aspects.
2. The “ Forest Department of the Government “ which owns the land and controls the resources from it.
3. The industrialists those who use forest products.
4. The wild life and nature enthusiasts who want to conserve nature in its pure form.
Water managementWater is one of the most important resource in a human’s life. It is non exhaustible but most of it is saline water which is not fit for human use.
So we need to save the water we get as rain as it the only water which is fit for human use...
DamsEnsure storage of water
Used to produce energy
Advantages:
Check floods
Disadvantages: Displacement of large no.
of people
Contribute enormously in
deforestation and the loss
of biological diversity
Swallow up huge amount of
public money with no
proportionate benefits.
Water Harvesting
It is saving the water when we have for the time when we have less source of it. It is collecting and storing rain water for future use.
The common methods of water harvesting are :-
i) Digging pits, ponds, lakes etc.
ii) Building small earthen dams or concrete check dams.
iii) Construction of dykes.
iv) Construction of reservoirs.
v) Construction of rooftop collecting units in houses.
The best to harvest water is to harvest it as ground water…
Advantages of underground water
It provides moisture for
irrigation of crops.
It does not get polluted easily.
It does not provide breeding ground
for mosquitoes and houseflies.
It does not evaporate easily.
It spreads out and recharges wells.
Fossil fuels
Oxides of nitrogen and sulphur may lead to acid rain
Formed by decomposition of
plants and animals
Coal 200 years
When burnt release
Reserves may last for
Petroleum 40 years
Non renewable source of energy
Carbon dioxide a green house gas
