Resource conservation involves conserving natural resources like soil, water, biodiversity, and forests. Soil conservation techniques include crop rotation, strip farming, and terrace farming. Water conservation aims to improve water use efficiency and reduce losses, through techniques like rainwater harvesting, restoring water bodies, and limiting supply in areas with unlimited access. Biodiversity conservation protects animals and forests that are threatened by activities like deforestation and overhunting. The Indian constitution includes laws like the Environment Protection Act and Forest Conservation Act to legislate the protection of natural resources.

10. A step to conserve water is the step to secure the future. The
most essential among all the natural resources on earth is
water. A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold for
the thirsty man. Water conservation is what that can reduce
the scarcity of water. It aims to improve the efficiency of
use of water, and reduce losses and waste.
• Tips to save water :
Avoid leakage of water from the taps.
• Turn the tap off when not in use especially when you brush
your teeth or wash clothes.
• Rainwater harvesting is the another method to conserve
water.
• The water supply should be limited in those areas which
enjoys the unlimited water supplies.
