CHAPTER - 16MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
![Page 2: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Natural resourcesNatural resources are the resources available in a nature like air, water, sunlight, soil, minerals, forests, wild life etc.Natural resources are of two main types. They are renewable and non-renewable natural resources.
![Page 3: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
i) Renewable natural resources
Those resources which can be replenished in a short period of time like air, water, sunlight, forests etc.
![Page 4: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
ii) 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 millions of years to be formed.
![Page 5: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Human activities produce a lot of waste materials which are thrown away into the environment. These wastes cause pollution of natural resources like air, water and soil.
![Page 6: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

The Three R’s to save the environment
The three R’s to save the environment are Reduce, Recycle and Reuse.
![Page 8: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
i) Reduce :- means using less of natural resources and avoiding wastage of natural resources.
![Page 9: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ii) Recycle :- means the materials like paper, plastic, glass, metals etc used for making things can again be used for
![Page 10: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
making new things
instead of synthesising or extracting new paper, plastic, glass or metals.
![Page 11: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
iii) 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.
![Page 12: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sub-Concept 16.1why do we need to
manage our resources?
![Page 13: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
All the things we use and consume are obtained from natural resources. Due to increase in population, industrialisation and urbanisation the demand for natural resources is increasing and their availability is limited .
![Page 14: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
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.
![Page 15: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
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.
![Page 16: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
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.

Water
a) 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.
![Page 32: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Water
Water is a natural habitat for aquatic organisms. Human activities are affecting the availability of water and causing pollution of water bodies.
![Page 33: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
b) Dams :-
Advantages of dams :-
i) Irrigation of crops.
ii) Producing electricity.
iii) Supplying water to towns and cities.
iv) To control floods.
![Page 34: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
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 causes deforestation and loss of biodiversity.
![Page 35: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

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.
![Page 37: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
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.
![Page 38: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
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.
![Page 39: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
iv) It does not get polluted easily.
v) It does not provide breeding ground for mosquitoes and houseflies.

RAINWATER HARVESTING
![Page 42: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
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.
![Page 43: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

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.
![Page 51: Chapter 16 management of natural resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a6c12e1a28ab41688b48c6/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Carbon dioxide is a green house gas which causes global warming.Oxides of nitrogen and sulphurcombines with moisture in the air and produces acid rain.
