Introduction to Natural
Resources
•Definition: Resources drawn from nature, used with
or without modification.
•Types: Renewable: Air, water, sunlight (replenished
quickly).
•Non-renewable: Coal, petroleum (limited stock, takes
thousands of years to replenish).
•Importance: Essential for survival, economic
development, and environmental balance.
Soil and Water Conservation
•Soil Conservation: Terracing, contour ploughing,
afforestation, crop rotation.
•Water Conservation: Rainwater harvesting, drip
irrigation, recycling wastewater, treatment of
industrial and sewage water.
•Impact: Prevents soil erosion, reduces water
wastage, promotes sustainable agriculture.
Air, Forest, and Mineral
Conservation
•Air: Use of CNG, scrubbers, electrostatic
precipitators, public awareness.
•Forest and Wildlife: Prevention of forest fires,
national parks, stringent laws against poaching.
•Mineral Conservation: Recycling, efficient
technology, alternative energy sources (solar,
wind, biogas).
•Outcome: Reduced pollution, preservation of
biodiversity, sustainable resource use.
