Resource and Development
Stock: Materials which have the potential to satisfy himan
needs but human beings do nothave the appropriate
technology to acess. For Example, Hydrogen cannot be used
fully due to lack of technology.
On the Basis of Development
Potential Resource: Example: Wind, and Solar Energy in
Rajasthan and Gujrat.
Reserves: Resources, which can be used for meeting future
requirements.
Industrail Resources: The oceanic resources beyond 200
nautical miles of the Exclusive Economic Zone.
National Resources: All the resources that belong to a nation,
On the Basis of Ownership 1.e. Minerals, water resources, forests, wildlife and land.
Types of Community Owned Resources: Example- Village Commons
(Grazing grounds, burial grounds, village ponds, etc.) public
Resources parks, picnic spots.
Individual Resources: Example- Plots, Houses, Plantation,
pasture lands, ponds, water in wells.
Renewable Resources:
On the Basis of Exhaustability Example: Solar and wind energy. Water, Forests and
Wildlife.
Non-Renewable Resources
Example:Minerals and Fossil fuels
Abiotic Resources: Composed of non-living things.
On the Basis Example: Rocks and metals
of Origin Biotic Resources: Obtained from biosphere, have life.
Example: Human beings, Flora and Fauna, Fisheries,
Livestock, etc.
Alluvial Soil
Black Soil
Red and Yellow Soil
Classification of Soil
Laterite Soil
Arid Soil
Soil as a Forest Soil
Resource Removal of top soil is called Soil Erosion, Intense Farmin9,
Soil Erosion and Soil Grazing, Construction activities and other human activities; along
Conservation with defostration have led to soil erosion. Soil Conservaation can
be done by Afforestration, terrace faming, etc
Forests Land under forest i.e 22.78%
Land not available for Barren and waste land, land put to non-agricultural
Cultivation uses, e.g buildings, roads, factories
Other Uncultivated Permanent pastures and grazing land, land under
Land miscellaneous tree crops groves, culturable waste land.
Land |Left without cultivation for one or less than one agricultural
Fallow Lands
Utilization | year, and left for the past 1-5 agricultural year.
Net Sown Area
Area sown more than once in an agricultural year plus net
| sown area is known as Gross Cropped Area
Land use pattern
|Paten of use of land depends on climate, type of soil, population,
|technology, skill, population density, tradition, capability, etc
There is about 130 million hectares of degraded land in India.
Land degradation and
conservation measuresPxInately, z67o Torest degraded area, 56% is water eroded area
|and the rest is affected by saline and alkaline deposits.
a) Making of Inventoryof resources after their region wise
identification across the country.
Resource Planning in India b) Making of the planning structure with appropriate
technology, skill and institution.
c) Matching of resources plan with development plan, etc.
Irrational consumption and over-utilisation of resources lead
Resources Conversation of Resource
to socio-economic and environmental problems.
Development
& Planning
Land Resources
Examples Mountains(30%), Plateaus (27%), Plains&
Islands (439%)
Examples: Depletion of resources, accumulation of
Deveplopment of Resources resources in only few hands, global ecological crises such
as, global warming, Ozone layer depletion.
