| Description :: |
| Natural resources are naturally occurring substances that are considered valuable in their relatively unmodified (natural) form. A natural resource's value rests in the amount of the material available and the demand for it. India's major mineral resources include Coal (third-largest reserves in the world), Iron ore, Manganese, Mica, Bauxite, Titanium ore, Chromite, Natural gas, Diamonds, Petroleum, Limestone and Thorium (world's largest along Kerala's shores). India's oil reserves, found in Bombay High off the coast of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan and in eastern Assam meet 25% of the country's demand.
Rising energy demand concomitant with economic growth has created a perpetual state of energy crunch in India. India is poor in oil resources and is currently heavily dependent on coal and foreign oil imports for its energy needs. India is rich in certain energy resources which promise significant future potential - clean/renewable energy resources like solar, wind, biofuels (jatropha, sugarcane).
The present book has been prepared keeping in view the Indian scenario. The chapters include Renewable and Non-Renewable Resources, Natural Resources, Green Technology and Sustainable Development, Forest Resources, Water Resources, Mineral Resources, Food Resources, Energy Resources, Land Resources, Wildlife Resources and Conservation, Biodiversity the Natural Biological Capital of the Earth, Natural Resource Conservation and Bioremidation, Natural Resource Conservation and Phytoremediation, Natural Resource Conservation and Biomining, Role of an Individual in Conservation of Natural Resources. |
