Answer 2

Answer:

1. Soil is as important as water as a resource. It provides nutrients and an anchor to the roots of plants and is therefore essential to their healthy growth and yield of food. It is a complex mixture of organic and mineral content which is constantly being formed by the weathering of rocks.

2. Resource planning is called the strategy for prearranged and cautious utilisation of resources. It is important for the very existence of all living beings. It is actually the judicious use of resources. In a country like India, resource planning turn of vital importance as resources are not distributed properly here.

3. Indiscriminate use of resources by human beings has led to economic, social and ecological problems. The major problems that have arisen due to over-exploitation, irrational consumption and indiscriminate use of resources are :

(i) Depletion of resources for satisfying the greed of a few selfish individuals.

(ii) Accumulation of resources in a few hands, which in turn, has led to social segregation into rich and poor. The society is divided into two segments, i.e., have and have-nots.

(iii) Indiscriminate and uncontrolled exploitation of resources without consideration for the future have led to grave ecological problems like global warming, ozone layer depletion,environmental pollution and land degradation.
