Is resources are connected to development? Explain.
Answers
Based on the Status of Development: Potential, Developed, Stock
Potential resources are those which are already available in nature. Also, we have already discovered them but are not completely utilized. Solar and wind energy are two of such resources. Despite their current usage, we can explore these resources more.
Developed resources are quite the opposite. We take years to develop most of the water, fossil fuel, minerals, plants and animals that we use fo
r our need today. Stock Resources are ones which have the potential but we do not have the adequate knowledge or technology to develop it. Like Hydrogen and Oxygen gases can be used as rich sources of energy but we are yet to discover how.
Development of Resources
Nature has blessed us with so many natural resources. And, to add it, humans have learned to develop the gifts of nature and create man-made resources. But none of these come for free. Even though you might think that it occurs in nature, each of these resources will have to be developed, maintained and conserved so our future generations can get benefits from them, like we did.
Hence resource planning is essential to bring about sustainable existence, which is a part of sustainable development. Sustainable economic development refers to ‘development of resources without causing any harm to the environment. Also, such development should not compromise with the needs of the future generations.’
yes resources are connected to development because reasources are the reason behind development. Reasources like water resources, wind, etc which we use to make different thing and these cause Development.
