Answers
Answer:
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 for 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.
Explanation:
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.’
Resources and Development Planning
So, how do we plan the resources and development of the same? India is a land of rich natural resources and diversely so. However, while some regions are ahead in their resources and development, other regions lag behind. For example, states like Rajasthan, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh, are blessed with minerals and metal ores.
However, they largely lack proper infrastructure and urban resources. In such cases, we need to consider resource planning at a national, state, regional and even local levels. Resource planning involves 3 steps:
Identifying and documenting the available resources across different regions
Designing a structured plan supported by innovation and technology
Matching the resources and development plans with those of the nation
