Prepare a list of polluted natural resources which are responsible for pollution & collect info about
how to manage them.
o Introduction to Natural Resources
Natural resources are resources that exist without any actions of humankind. This
includesthe sources of valued characteristics such as commercial and industrial use, aesthetic
value,scientific interest and cultural value. Common examples of natural resources include
air,sunlight, water, soil, plants, animals and fossil fuels. There are various methods of
categorizing natural resources. These include the source of origin, stage of development, and
by their renewability. Biotic and abiotic resources, renewable and non-renewable
resourcesare examples of resources that are classified into different types.

o Need for resource management:
Renewable resources can be renewed at the same time that they are exploited (forests,
crops, wildlife, groundwater, wind and solar energy). They can be maintained
through natural recycling or can be replenished through proper management.
On the other hand, non-renewable resources cannot be recycled. They can be
depleted if used indefinitely (mineral ores, coal, petroleum etc.). They are difficult to
replace, resulting in a situation where non-renewable resources run out after a
specific amount of time. Thus, natural resources need to be used carefully.
Since natural resources are not unlimited, and with the increasing human population,
the demand for resources increases exponentially. We can see that the natural
resources are recycled again and again on the earth for continuous use.
Expanding human population resulted in expanding needs of man. With scientific and
technological advancement, humans started utilizing natural resources on a much larger
scale. Thus, the management of resources must be an inherent component of our
society to maintain a sustainable, equitable allocation of resources and reduce
environmental damage.
Continuous increase in population caused an increased demand for resources.
Therefore, the conservation of natural resources makes important contributions to the
social and economic development of the country.

o List of Polluted Natural Resources:
1) Air
2) Water
3) Soil
4) Ocean and Seas
5) Forests
6) Biodiversity
It's important to note that managing polluted natural resources requires a collaborative
effort involving governments, industries, communities, and individuals. Strict
enforcement of regulations, raising awareness, and adopting sustainable practices are
key to preserving our environment for future generations.

Water
Sources of Pollution:
1) Industrial discharges
2) Untreated sewage
3) Agricultural runoff
4) Oil spills.
Management Strategies:
- Establish and enforce strict regulations on industrial wastewater discharge.
- Upgrade sewage treatment facilities and promote proper waste disposal practices.
- Encourage the use of natural and constructed wetlands to filter pollutants from water.
- Educate farmers on responsible agricultural practices to minimize runoff.
- Implement oil spill response plans and enforce penalties for offenders.

Soil
Sources of Pollution:
1) Industrial waste disposal
2) Improper landfill management
3) Agricultural chemicals.
Management Strategies:
- Monitor and remediate contaminated sites through soil remediation techniques.
- Encourage sustainable farming practices, such as crop rotation and organic farming.
- Implement proper landfill management and waste segregation practices.
- Use bioremediation techniques, like planting certain plant species that can absorb
contaminants.
- Promote the recycling and reuse of materials to reduce waste generation.

Ocean and Seas
Sources of Pollution:
1) Marine litter
2) Oil spills
3) Untreated sewage
4) Chemical discharges.
Management Strategies:
- Implement stringent regulations to prevent illegal dumping and enforce penalties for
offenders.
- Set up marine-protected areas to preserve vulnerable ecosystems.
- Promote beach and coastal cleanup initiatives to reduce marine litter.
- Improve wastewater treatment to prevent sewage pollution.
- Establish response plans and resources to handle oil spills promptly.

Forests
Sources of Pollution:
1) Deforestation
2) Illegal logging
3) Air pollution.
Management Strategies:
- Enforce strict laws against illegal logging and deforestation activities.
- Promote reforestation and afforestation efforts to restore degraded forests.
- Implement sustainable logging practices, such as selective logging and forest
management plans.
- Monitor and control forest fires to prevent widespread destruction.
- Raise awareness about the importance of forests and their role in carbon sequestration.

2) Pollution
3) Climate change.
Management Strategies:
- Establish protected areas and wildlife reserves to conserve biodiversity.
- Implement international agreements to combat illegal wildlife trade.
- Address climate change through global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Promote sustainable land use planning to preserve critical habitats.
- Conduct research and monitoring to assess the health of ecosystems and species.

Conclusion
We must create a sustainable world which should last forever. Some of the strategies
or ways to sustain continuous resource use include:
1. To practice the utilisation of energy efficiently.
2. Minimise the wastage of water.
3. To avoid the usage of plastics and other non-biodegradable materials.
4. To take care of the environment we live in.
It is critical that we carefully manage and utilise our resources to preserve them for future
generations.
