Resource conservation
- 2. WHAT IS RESOURCE Anything which can be used for satisfying the human needs is called a resource. Resorces Natural Remewable Non renewable Manmade WATER RESORCES BIOTIQUE RESOURCES LAND RESOURCES
- 3. RESOURCE CONSERVATION We need to conserve conserve rescorce- 1.prevent them from getting exhausted. 2. To save for the future generations. 3. To get continuous supply and for a long time
- 4. LAND RESOURCES Land resources are every benefits that we can avail from land such as- Agricultural land The underground water Mines Forests
- 5. LAND-USE There are different type of land use such as: Commercial land use Residential land use Industrial land use Institutional land use Transportation land use
- 6. LAND USE PROBLEMS LAND DEGRADATION: Every year 5 to 7 million hectares of land worldwide is added to the degraded farmland. Over irrigation, over use of chemical fertilsers making the lands unproductive. SOIL EROSION: Deforestation is increasing day by day and this is leading to soil erosion throughout the world.
- 7. LAND CONSERVATION Land conservation is the process of protecting land to its natural state. As humans develop and harm ecosystem, a variety of techniques are needed to try to save the environment and protect the remaining lands.
- 8. MODERN TECHNIQUES OF LAND CONSERVATION Land use policy. Strict actions are taken to check the reckless felling of trees and overgrazing By educating and informing all the land holders by various aspects of land resource Contour ploughing is another method to conserve. By this method the fields are ploughed, and sown along the contors of hills. Under the afforestation and deforestation programme, planting of trees bushes and grass helps to check the soil erosion. Shelter belts are planted on the margins of desert areas. Construction of dams.
- 9. WATER RESOURCE Water resources are the sources of water that are potentially useful for agricultural, industrial, household and environmental activities.
- 10. WATER CONSERVATION Water conservation is the practice of using water efficiently to reduce unnecessary water usages. WHY WATER CONSERVATION IS IMPORTANT? Over one billion people do not have enough safe clean water to drink. It is very expensive to develop new water sources. Water protects our ecosystem and wildlife.
- 11. MANAGEMENT FOR WATER CONSERVATION India is expected to enter the water stress category by 2025. so government have taken few measures to limit the water uses: Proper domestic use Efficient agricultural use Desalination of marine water Forest conservation Recycling of industrial water Harvesting rainwater Proper irrigation method in agriculture
- 12. BIOTIC RESOURCES Biotic resources are resources derived from the biosphere such as living things and from forest and the materials derived from them.
- 13. CLASSIFICATION OF BIOTIC RESOURCES Living and organic materials are classified as biotic resources such as- ANIMALS PLANTS FORESTS MICRORGANISM
- 14. CONSERVATION OF BIOTIC RESOURCE As the human population is increasing day by day the consumption of natural resources are also increasing. If these resources are not properly used there will be a serious scarcity of this resources.
- 15. CONSERVATION MEASURES Species conservation: Species are conserved within their own areas in IN- SITU conservation. Ex- protected areas, Biosphere Reservation. Endangered species are artificially reserved in ex situ conservation. Ex- Botanical garden, Gene bank etc.
- 16. There are several acts which has been passed to conserve the species and their habitats. Ex- Wildlife protection act,1972; Forest conservation act,1980. Proper management and maintenance of the habitat factors Educating people about the importance of biodiversity conservation increases public awareness of the issue Formulation of policies to regulations to curb poaching.
- 17. CONCLUSION The globe without natural resources will be as the globe without nature .The resources not only add our lives they serve the realm of progress.
