The natural reserve stock/ supply which man utilizes for sustenance and welfare.
provided by nature which are necessary for our day-to-day lives’ Natural resources can be defined as ‘variety of goods and services. Eg: Plants, animals and microbes (living or biotic part), Air, water, soil, minerals, climate and solar energy (non- living or abiotic part).

NATURAL RESOURCES
RENEWABLE
NON-RENEWABLE

Renewable resources: Natural resources which can be used but can be regenerated by natural processes provided if there is no intervention in natural regene ration cycle.Ex: water, wood
Non Renewable Resources: Those which will be exhausted in the future if we continue to extract these without a thought for subsequent generations. Example: minerals, fossil fuels.

WATER RESOURCES
The United Nations has recognized access to water as a basic human right, stating that water is a social and cultural good, not merely n economic commodity.

Main sources of water for our use are: Rainfall
Groundwater
Surface water

Deforestation: Once hill slopes are denuded of forest cover, the rainwater rushesdown the rivers and is lost.
Forest cover permits water to be held in the area permitting it to seep into the ground.
This charges the underground stores of water in natural aquifers.
This can be used in drought years if the stores have been filled during a good monsoon.
This soil and water management and afforestation are long-term measures that reduce the impact of droughts. The destruction of forests influence the regulationof natural water cycle

ENERGY RESOURCES
Energy is defined as ‘the capacity to do work’. Sun is the primary source of energy.
Joule is the standard unit of energy in SI units.
Energy utilization is an index of economicdevelopment, which does not take into account of ill effects/damage on to environment

Renewable energy sources include Wind power Wave power Ocean Thermal Exchange Capacity
(OTEC) - based on temperature differences in ocean layers.
Solar Power Hydro power Fuel cells Bio- fuels- also known as biomass fuels-
such as alcohol form, sugar, methane from organic waste or charcoal from trees and biodiesel.

MINERAL RESOURCES: Minerals are naturally occurring, inorganic, crystalline
solids having definitechemical composition and characteristic physical properties. There are thousands of minerals occurring in different parts of the world.
However, most of the rocks, we see everyday are just composed of few common minerals like quartz, feldspar, biotite etc. These minerals in turn are composed of some elements like silicon, oxygen, iron etc.
