Question

Suggest some ways of reusing a resource in your locality?

Answer 1

• Management of resources is essential for their conservation and restoration.
• Resources are usually local specific and local people need to have control over them.
• People need to be motivated to reduce pressure on the environment by reducing utilization of resources and reusing some of them.
• We must use our resources judiciously especially fossil fuel, coal and petroleum as they will be ultimately exhausted.
• Interstate and intercountry disputes should not hamper availability of a resource.
• Indiscriminate tapping of ground water in the state by too much drilling and construction of deep tubewells have resulted in over exploitation and depletion of ground water resources in certain areas.
• A project of the center for world solidarity(Secunderabad) that addresses sustainability of ground water intervened to help in recharging wells that were drying up in the village.
• Out of all the water on earth, salt water In oceans, seas and saline ground water constitute about 97%, only 2.5 to 2.75% is fresh water.
