Explanation:
Natural & Power Resource of Himachal Pradesh
Natural resources are useful raw materials that we get from the Earth. They occur naturally, which means that humans cannot make natural resources. Instead, we use and modify natural resources in ways that are beneficial to us. The materials used in human-made objects are natural resources. Some examples of natural resources and the ways we can use them are:
Natural & Power Resource of Himachal Pradesh
Natural resources are also classified based on their renewability:
Renewable natural resources: these are resources that can be replenished. Examples of renewable resources include sunlight, air, and wind . …
Non-renewable natural resources: these resources form extremely slow and do not naturally form in the environment.
On the basis of origin, natural resources may be divided into two types:
Biotic — Biotic resources are obtained from the living and organic material, such as forests and animals, and the materials that can be obtained from them. Fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum are examples.
Abiotic – Abiotic resources are those that come from non-living, non-organic material. Examples fresh water, air, rare earth metals etc.
Considering their stage of development, natural resources may be referred to in the following ways:
Potential resources — Potential resources are those that exist in a region and may be used in the future
Actual resources — Actual resources are those that have been surveyed, their quantity and quality determined and are being used in present times..
Reserve resources — The part of an actual resource which can be developed profitably in the future is called a reserve resource.
Stock resources — Stock resources are those that have been surveyed but cannot be used by organisms due to lack of technology.
Mineral resource
Nature has endowed Himachal Pradesh with a number of important minerals such as, salt, gypsum, clays, mica, limestone, barytes, iron, pyrite and lead, however, limestone and slate are of greater significance. The deposits of slate are found in Mandi, Kangra and Chamba district. Rock salt deposits are located in Mandi district at Gumma and Darang.
Gypsum is found in Sirmaur district. The limestone which is useful raw material for cement industry is found in abundance in Bilaspur, Sirmaur, Mandi and Solan district. In recent survey uranium deposits have been reported in Kullu and Hamirpur districts. Since a long time ONGC has been making efforts to locate combustible gas at Jawalamukhi (Kangra) and Deot Sidh (Hamirpur).
Water resources
The state is richly endowed with a hilly terrain having an enormous volume of water from the catchment areas of Satluj, Beas, Ravi and Chenab rivers. As such, the state has enormous potential of water resources in the form of glaciers and rivers but ground water resources are limited.
Glaciers are located in higher Himalayan reaches (above 4000 m) in Pir Panjal, Dhauladhar, Zanskar and Great Himalayan ranges. There are 800 Glaciers in the Himachal Himalayas.
Surface water Resources
Most of the surface water resources of the state flow from perennial rivers which originate from glaciers. About 90% of Himachal Pradesh’s drainage forms the part of Indus river system. Himachal provides water to both the Indus and Ganges basins. The major river systems of the region are the Chandrabhaga or the Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas, the Sutlej and the Yamuna.
There are a number of small and large lakes in Himachal Pradesh. Most important of them are 21.
Among the Ramsar Wetlands are the following
Chandra Taal (meaning the Lake of the Moon) Chandra Tal is situated at an altitude of about 4,300 metres in the Himalayas. The name of the lake originates from its crescent shape. Situated in the Spiti part of the Lahul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh, Chandra Taal is a popular destination for trekkers and campers.
Renuka Wetland- It is located in Sirmaur District at an altitude of 660 m above msl. It has high biological richness.
Pong Dam- It is situated at district Kangra and the bank of Beas river along boundary of Himachal and Punjab states.
Groundwater Resources
The groundwater resources occur mainly in unconsolidated sediments of intermontain valleys and in the submontane tract. Kangra, Una, Hamirpur, Bilaspur, Mandi, Solan and Sirmaur districts, particularly their valley areas depend upon groundwater.
The major consumptive use of water in the State has been for irrigation. The gross irrigation potential of the State is estimated to be 3.35 lakh hectare, while the irrigation potential created has reached 2.56 lakh hectare by September 2013.
