Hence, it is important to keep the renewal cycles of resources in mind if we wish to use them judiciously.
Resources must renew naturally. Similarly, we should use groundwater only to the extent that it recharges
naturally. Otherwise, the water table will fall.
If we want to use wood from forests, how can we ensure that our extraction rate matches the natural
renewal cycle?
How does the groundwater renewal cycle work? How should we use groundwater?
How do fish renew themselves in ponds? How should we harvest fish?
How do chemical fertilizers and pesticides affect the natural renewal process in soil?
on-renewable resources: These resources such as iron ore, coal, mineral oil etc. are available in
mited quantities. The natural stock depletes the more we utilise them because they do not renew
emselves. For example, metallic ore deposits deplete after mining and extracting the metal from
em. We then have to look for new ore deposits. A day will come when we exhaust all available
posits. Even today, many mines have shut down after exhausting their stock. One such example is
Dalli Rajhara iron ore mines in Chhattisgarh.
