Natural resources
Natural resources are the resources available in a
nature like air, sunlight, soil, minerals, forest, wild
life etc.
Natural resources are of two main types. They are
renewable and non-renewable natural resources.
Renewable natural resources

Those resources which can be replenished in a
short period of time like air, water, sunlight, forest
etc.
Non-renewable natural
resources
Those resources which cannot be replenished in a
short period of time like minerals (coal, petroleum,
natural gas, metals etc.) because they take
million of years to be formed.
Human activities produce a lot of waste materials
which are thrown away into the environment.
These wastes cause pollution of nature resources
like air, waster and soil.

The Three R’s to save
the environment
The three R’s to save the environment are Reduce,
Reuse and Recycle
Reduce
Means using less of natural resources and avoiding
wastage of natural resources.
Recycling
Means the materials like paper, plastic, glass,
metals, etc used for making things can again be
used for making new things instead of synthesizing
or extracting new paper, plastic, glass or metals.
Reuse
Means using things again and again like the plastic
bottles in which we buy jams, pickles etc can be
again used for storing things in the kitchen.

Need for management

of natural resources
All the things we use and consume are
obtained from natural resources. Due to
increase in population, industrialization and
urbanization the demand for natural
resources is increasing and their availability
is limited. So there is a need for proper
management of natural resources.
The proper management of natural resources
consists of :-
i) Judicious use of natural resources and
avoiding wastage of natural resources.
ii) Long term planning for the use of natural
resources so that it last not only for the
present but also for future generations.
iii) The exploitation of natural resources
should not be for the benefit of a few people
but should be distributed equally for all.
iv) While extracting and using natural
resources we should also plan for the safe
disposal of wastes so that no damage is
caused to the environment.
Forest
Importance of forests
i) Forests help to preserve biodiversity.
ii) Forests are natural habitats of plants and
animals.
iii) Forests provide timber, wood, fuel, medicines,
fodder, etc.
iv) Forests help to maintain ecological balance.
v) Forests help to control climate and rainfall.
vi) Forests help to prevent soil erosion and
controls floods.
vii) Forests help to maintain the oxygen–carbon
dioxide balance in nature
Stake holder of forest

People who are associated with forests directly or
indirectly are
i) People living in and around forests depend on
forests for their livelihood.
ii) Industrialists who use the raw materials from
forests for manufacturing paper, medicines,
furniture etc.
iii) Forest Department of the Government who
owns the forests and controls the resources from
the forests.
iv) Nature and wild life organizations who want to
conserve and preserve forests.
Conservation of forests
Forests can be conserved by :-
i) Afforestation – planting of more trees.
ii) Preventing or reducing deforestation.
iii) Preventing over grazing by cattle.
iv) By setting up wildlife sanctuaries, national
parks, biosphere reserves etc.
v) Undertaking social forestry programs like Van
Mahotsav, Chipko movement for planting and
protecting trees on a large scale.
Wildlife
Importance of wildlife
i) Wildlife helps to preserve biodiversity.
ii) Wildlife helps to maintain food chains and food
web.
iii) We get useful products from wildlife like food,
medicines, leather, bones, honey, lac etc.
Conservation of wildlife
i) Preserving the natural habitats of animals.
ii) Banning poaching of animals.
iii) Protecting endangered species of animals.
iv) Setting up of wildlife sanctuaries, national
parks, biosphere reserves etc.
Water
Uses of water
Water is a basic necessity for all living things. We
use water for our daily needs, for agriculture,
transportation, construction of buildings, roads,
dams etc. Water is a natural habitat for aquatic
organisms. Human activities are affecting the
availability of water and causing pollution of water
bodies.
Dams
Advantages of dams
i) Irrigation of crops.
ii) Producing electricity.
iii) Supplying water to towns and cities.
iv) To control floods.
Disadvantages of dams
i) Social problems :- It displaces a large number
of people who have to be rehabilitated.
ii) Economic problems :- It is expensive and uses a
huge amount of public money.
iii) Environmental problems :- It cause
deforestation and loss of biodiversity.
Water harvesting (Rain water
harvesting)
Water harvesting 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.
Advantages of underground
water
i) It does not evaporate easily.
ii) It spreads out and recharges wells.
iii) It provides moisture for irrigation of crops.
iv) It does not get polluted easily.
v) It does not provide breeding ground for
mosquitoes and houseflies.
Different methods of water
harvesting
Rainwater harvesting
Coal and petroleum

Coal and petroleum are fossil fuels formed by the
decomposition of dead plants and animals inside
the earth after several millions of years.They are
non-renewable sources of energy.
Petroleum reserves may last for about 40 years
and coal reserves may last for about 200 years.
Coal and petroleum contain carbon, hydrogen,
nitrogen and sulphur. When they are burnt, they
release carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen and
sulphur. Carbon dioxide is a green house gas
which causes global warming. Oxides of nitrogen
and sulphur combines with moisture in the air and
produces acid rain.
