Land resources
Land, water, forests, and soil are among India's most important natural resources.
Land resources in India account for approximately 1.3 million square miles and are varied, consisting of 43% plains, 30% mountains, and 27% plateaus. Agriculture is a major use of land resources in India, as India is one of the world's largest producers of many agricultural goods. Soil is another vital resource that requires protection from erosion through practices like maintaining vegetation cover, crop rotation, and terracing. Water is equally essential, being used for agriculture, drinking, washing, transportation, recreation and other purposes. Forests cover around 24% of India's land area and also provide an important natural resource.

Natural resources and problems
Natural resources are materials found in nature that are valuable to humans. Due to population growth and industrialization, demand for natural resources is increasing while availability is limited, requiring proper management. Key natural resources include forests, water, minerals, food, and land. Forests help regulate climate and provide habitat but are threatened by deforestation. Water resources like rivers face issues like flooding, drought, overuse, and pollution. Mining and dams can negatively impact forests and water. Food production relies on agriculture and risks like modern farming practices, population growth, and land degradation including desertification. Sustainable management of natural resources is needed to meet current and future human needs.
Forest resources
Forests are one of the most important natural resources, covering approximately 1/3 of the earth's total land area. Forests provide many essential functions like regulating climate and temperature, producing oxygen, conserving soil, and providing habitat for wildlife. However, forests are threatened by deforestation driven by factors like population growth, agricultural expansion, timber extraction, and dam construction. Deforestation has severe environmental and social consequences such as increased carbon emissions, loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and displacement of indigenous communities. Conservation efforts like afforestation aim to restore forests and prevent further destruction of these vital ecosystems.

NATURAL RESOURCES AND ASSOCIATED PROBLEMS
Exists without actions of humankind in the form of matter/energy which is available in the earth and get used by living thing.
Or exist as a separate entity such as fresh water, air and as well as a living organism such as a fish.
Or it may exist in an alternate form that must be processed to obtain the resource such as metal ores, petroleum, and most forms of energy.
Natural resources
Natural resources are living and non-living things from nature that humans use. They include air, water, land, plants, animals, and minerals. Resources can be classified as renewable or non-renewable. Renewable resources regenerate naturally, while non-renewable resources like fossil fuels take millions of years to form and are depleted once used. Humans rely on natural resources for survival, but overexploitation and pollution threaten their sustainability. Careful management of natural resources is needed to ensure future availability.

Forest ecosystem
This document summarizes and compares the structure and function of forest and grassland ecosystems. It outlines the key abiotic and biotic components of each system. Forest ecosystems contain a diversity of tree species that serve as primary producers, along with various herbivores, omnivores, and decomposers like fungi and bacteria. Grassland ecosystems are found in regions with moderate rainfall and are dominated by grasses and forbs as producers, and grazing herbivores as primary consumers. Decomposers like fungi and bacteria break down dead organic matter in both forest and grassland systems.
Water resources
Water resources are sources of water that are useful or potentially useful for various human uses. Virtually all human uses require fresh water, but only 3% of the water on Earth is fresh, and over two thirds of that is frozen in glaciers and ice caps. As the global population rises, water demand is exceeding supply in many areas, so there is increasing scarcity of accessible, clean fresh water. The major sources of fresh water are surface water, groundwater, and frozen water. Water is used for agricultural, industrial, household, and environmental purposes.
Land Resources and Associated Problems
Land is a natural resource essential for humanity and ecosystems. It provides agricultural resources and minerals. Land degradation occurs through deforestation, overgrazing, and unsustainable agricultural practices like excessive fertilizer and pesticide use. This pollutes soil and water resources and degrades land quality. Landslides can be natural or human-induced by irresponsible construction, mining, and road building. Soil erosion is the wearing away of topsoil by water and wind forces. It reduces crop productivity and pollutes waterways. Desertification is the process of fertile land turning into desert due to climate change and human activities like overgrazing, unsustainable farming, and urbanization. Prevention methods include sustainable land management policies, education, and technology

ROLE OF INDIVIDUAL IN CONSERVATION NATURAL RESOURCES.pptx
Natural resources play an important role in a nation's economy and development. While humans can conserve resources through individual efforts, there is currently an inequitable distribution of natural resource use and consumption between developed and developing nations. More developed countries with only 22% of the global population use 88% of resources and contribute greatly to pollution, while less developed countries with 78% of the population use only 12% of resources. This unsustainable imbalance threatens global development, and requires more equitable sharing of resources between rich and poor countries.
Land and soil resources
Land and soil resources are important natural resources in India. Land supports natural vegetation, wildlife, human life, and economic activities. Approximately 43% of India's land area consists of plains, 30% is mountains, and 27% is plateaus. Soil is essential for plant growth and supports living organisms. Many factors influence soil formation, including relief features, parent rock, climate, vegetation, and time. Some major soil types in India include alluvial, black, red and yellow, laterite, and arid soils. Land degradation affects 130 million hectares in India due to causes such as deforestation, overgrazing, mining, and quarrying. Conservation measures include afforestation, controlling grazing and mining activities
Land and soil Resources
This document discusses land and soil resources. It covers topics such as land degradation, land conservation, types of soil, and soil conservation. Specifically, it notes that 23% of the world's usable land has been degraded through deforestation, overgrazing, and other causes. Proper land use planning and techniques like afforestation, controlling erosion, and regulating chemicals can help conserve land resources for future generations. The document also outlines the different layers that make up soil and the importance of conserving soil to retain its fertility.
Land Resources
India has a variety of land types including plains, mountains, and plateaus. Land is used for forests, non-agricultural purposes, pastures, and cultivation. Forest land covers less than the desired 33% of land. Waste land and non-agricultural land has increased. Permanent pastures have decreased, putting pressure on grazing lands. Fallow lands include current fallow lands left uncultivated for less than a year and other fallow lands uncultivated for more than a year. The net sown area varies widely by region from over 80% in Punjab and Haryana to less than 10% in some northeastern states. Conservation of land resources is important to support the large population into
Forest resources
1. The document discusses forest resources in India, including types of forests, their importance, causes of deforestation, and efforts around afforestation.
2. Forests provide important ecological functions like regulating climate and rainfall, producing oxygen, and serving as wildlife habitats. They also have economic importance as a source of timber, fuelwood, and goods for industries.
3. Deforestation is caused by factors like population growth, infrastructure development, and agricultural expansion. It leads to issues like soil erosion, desertification, and loss of biodiversity. Afforestation efforts aim to control deforestation and protect the environment.
Land resources
Land is a fundamental resource that provides shelter and food. India has 329 million hectares of land, comprising 13% of the world's total land area and ranking 7th globally in size. However, India's land utilization is not at its optimum potential. Land degradation refers to the deterioration of soil and loss of its productivity and fertility. It is estimated that India loses 6000 million tons of topsoil annually due to factors like erosion from water, wind, and human activities like deforestation, mining, and construction. Soil erosion decreases the nutrients in soil like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, reducing its fertility. Desertification is the process by which fertile land turns into desert due to removal of trees and unsustainable agricultural practices.
Mineral resources
This document discusses mineral resources and mining. It begins by defining minerals and describing their common composition and properties. It then classifies minerals as metallic or non-metallic, and sometimes critical or strategic based on their importance. The document outlines major uses of minerals and describes how they are exploited through mining. Both surface and subsurface mining techniques are discussed. The environmental impacts of mining are then examined, including pollution of air, water, land degradation, and health impacts. Specific examples of environmental damage from mining in India are provided. The document concludes by suggesting remedial measures to mitigate mining's environmental impacts.
Biodiversity values
Benefits of biodiversity includes direct, indirect consumptive use values, productive usevalues, social value, ethical and moral values, aesthetic value, option and environmental services, cultural and spiritual values are covered in this presentation.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Presented by Jan Peters at GLF Peatlands 2024 - The Global Peatlands Assessment: Mapping, Policy, and ActionRecycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

- 7. Human population is growing day-by-day. Continuous increase in population caused an increasing demand for natural resources. Due to urban expansion, electricity need and industrialization, man started utilising natural resources at a much larger scale. Non-renewable resources are limited. They cannot be replaced easily. After some time, these resources may come to an end. It is a matter of much concern and ensures a balance between population growth and utilisation of resources. This overutilisation creates many problems. In some regions there are problems of water logging due to over irrigation. In some areas, there is no sufficient water for industry and agriculture. Thus, there is need for conservation of natural resources. There are many problems associated with natural resources:
- 8. Basic reasons of the depletion of natural resources. • Rapid population • Increase in Pollution • High consumption of resources • Deterioration of land • Unplanned urbanization’ • Uncontrolled industrialization • Low awareness about concervation.
- 9. Forest resources and associated problems • 1. Use and over-exploitation. • 2. Deforestation. • 3. Timber extraction. • 4. Mining and its effects on forest. • 5. Dams and their effects on forests and tribal people. • Filling up of wetland.
- 10. Energy resources and associated problems • 1. Growing energy needs. • Land resources and associated problems • 1. Land degradation. • 2. Man-induced landslides. • 3. Soil erosion and desertification.
