2. WATER RESOURCE

Water resources are sou ter that are useful

potentially useful

Uses of water include agricultural, industrial, household,
nal and environmental activities

% of the Earth's water is fresh water

But people make vast wastage of water lk k pipes, Long showers
swimming pools, Over water to yawns, Flushing the toilets many times

Water conservation encompasses the policies,
and activities to manage fresh water as a
ustainable resc ter
onment, and to meet current and future
human demand W

3. Wind energy is one of the
alternative sources of energ

has been in use since 2000 BC
Wind power posses huge potential
and has been growing fast in
recent years.

Wind refer to the movement of air
from high pressure areas to low
pressure areas.

its of turning energy from wind to other form. There
are different way to harness it. For example, windmills produce
mechanical energy, which helps to sail boat and generate electricity
The advantage of wind energy, itis a pure form of renewable energy
without pollution and can regenerate anytime, it reduces fossil fuels
consumption, lessen air and water pollution, and initate with less cost.

As wind intensities vary depending on location and settings, open
rural type area create the best condition for hamessing and storing
wind for futute use.

One way to conserve wind energy is by using Generator system that
powered by wind turbines.

The use of solar panel system alongside wind
generators is another means of conserving

woody vegetation.

5. Wildlife traditionally refers to non-domesticated -
animal species, but has come to include all

plants, fungi and other organisms which grow

or live wild in an area without being introduced

by humans.

Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts,
forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands, and other
areas including the most developed urban sites,
all have distinct forms of wildlife

The importances of wild life is to maintain
ecological ‘balance of nature’ and maintain food!
chain and natural cycles. It has econmic value.
Many wild plants provide useful substances like
timber, paper, gums etc. Most importantly, wild
life is available toto carry breeding programs in
agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery.

Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting wild plant and animal
species and their habitats. Wildlife conservation has become an
increasingly important practice due to the negative effects of human

activity on wildlife

WILDLIFE

Wild Life conservation includes
*Maintenance of essential ecological
processes and life-support systems.
*Preservation of genetic diversity that is
flora and fauna.

*Sustainable utilization of species and
ecosystems. Priorities for national action:
A framework for national and sub-national
conservation strategies.

*Policy making and the integration of
conservation and development.
“Environmental planning and rational use
allocation.

6. Graphite isthe crystal form of carbon.
Graphite is used as a dry lubricant and steel
hardener

7. Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black
dimentary rock usually occurring in rock strata
in layers or veins called coal beds or coal seams

The main use of coal is in the production of
electricity. Coke, a product left after heating coal is
used to manuf and st

liquid found in geological formations beneath the
Earth's surface used as various types of fue!

It act as fu is used to rum vehicals and a
portion of it is used in cosmetics for more

Nuclear power is the fourth-largest source of
electricity in India after thermal, hydroelectric and
renewable sources of electrici
