Resource management involves assessing, utilizing, and conserving resources like water in a sustainable way. It includes collecting data on the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the resource, as well as socioeconomic factors. The resources are then utilized for purposes like water supply, power generation, irrigation, and recreation. Conservation aims to optimize sustainable yield through measures like regulating harvesting and protecting the environment. Proper resource management is important for balancing exploitation with maintaining the resource.

4. What is RESOURCE MANAGEMENT./
-is concerned with ASSESMENT,
UTILIZATION, and
CONSERVATION of a resource (water
resource e.g., lakes, rivers, swamps, etc.)
with the objectives of maintaining the
resource to provide the maximum
sustainable yield.

5. ASSESMENT
- it includes the collection and evaluation of facts
concerning the resource, based on basic statistics
on the physical to chemical and biological aspects
of the resource. This may also included the
socioeconomics, marketing and utilization aspects.

6. UTILIZATION
WATER RESOURCE

7. water supply

8. power sources

9. irrigation

10. recreation

11. fishing for
human
consumption

13. CONSERVATION
- includes the aggregate of the measures rendering
possible of optimum sustainable yield from those
resources so as to secure a maximum supply of food and
other fishery products.

15. 1. Describing stocks of wild animals and plants with respect
to their abundance migration, distribution, behavior, size,
age, composition, rate of growth, and rate of mortality.
2. Describing the environmental factors that limit the stocks.
3. Describing kind distribution, and cost of fishing.
4. Protecting and enhancing the environment.

16. -each stocks mentioned, contributes to vital information
needed to estimate the yield from the stocks from natural
events and amount of fishing. The findings are used for
decisions either to encourage harvest of underscored
resources or restrain harvest of over-used resources. Data
collected may provide information for planning, in order to
maximize the utility of the resource. Some environmental
changes can be made to enhance the production and evaluate
the benefits of environmental changes.
(reference:Royce, W. 1972)

18. - it includes all physical, chemical, and
biological characteristics of water.

19. 1. TEMPERATURE – is a property that measures the
amount of heat absorb by water.
2. DENSITY – is mass of water per unit volume.
3. COLOR – result from the unabsorbed light rays
remaining from incident light.
(a.) TRUE COLOR – is caused by substances in
the solution or in colloidal suspension.
(b.) APPARENT COLOR – is caused by suspended
particulate matter.
4. TURBIDITY – refers to decreased ability of water to
transmit light. It measure the transparency of water.

20. 1. The amount of gases dissolved in water such as oxygen,
and carbon dioxide.
2. ph - the amount of hydrogen-ion concentration or it is
a measure of acidity and basicity of water.
3. SALINITY – the total concentration of a ionic
constituents present in a water sample.
4. Amount of nutrients dissolved in water e.g. phosphorus,
nitrogen, potassium, and other minor nutrients.
5. TOTAL ALKALINITY – he total concentration of bases in
water expressed as mg/1 as CaCO3.
6. TOTAL HARDNESS – total concentration of alkaline
earth ions expressed as mg/1 as CaCO3.
7. TOTAL SOLIDS – the amount of total residue left upon
evaporation.

21. The most critical aspects of biological of water
quality is the ecology of phytoplankton and
aquatic macrophytes.

22. PHYTOPLANKTON
.– are minute
plants
suspended in
the water
column.

23. MACROPHYTES
.– are vascular
plants including
floating, rooted
and submerged
vegetation, other
organisms,
zooplankton,
and other
animals affect
water quality
too.

24. - is the end result of interaction of the organism and its
environment.
- it is the outcome of the struggle of the organisms to
exist against the pressures exerted by the environment.
- it is measured in terms of biomass and standing crop
per unit of time.

26. 1. POLLUTION

27. 2. DISEASE
PROBLEM

28. 3.
MORTALITY
OF AUATIC
ORGANISMS

29. 4. AGING OF
LAKE

31. 1. Controlling
of stocking
rate of
natural
body of
water.

32. 2. Dumping of
domestic and
industrial waste
into the river or
lake should be
avoided.

33. 3. Grasses or
trees should be
planted in the
vicinity or
watershed to
avoid soil
erosion.

34. 4. Proper exploitation of resources should be
done to ensure a balance of population.
