Indiscriminate use of resources has led to several major problems like depletion of resources and global warming. An equitable distribution of resources has become essential for a sustained quality of life.
Resource Planning
Identification of resources across the country.
Evolving a plan for resource development.
Matching resource development plans to national development plans.
Soil is the most important natural renewable resource. It is a living system.
Classification of soils
Red soil
Laterite soil

Land is a resource of utmost importance and therefore we have to use it with careful planning.
Some examples of land utilisation
Land not available for utilization (Barren land)
Fallow Land (Uncultivated land)
Forests
Some human factors such as deforestation and mining have significantly led to land degradation. Afforestation and control on grazing can help in solving land degradation.
The use of land is determined by both physical factors like topography and human factors like population density.
The denudation of the soil cover and its subsequent washing away is called soil erosion. Running water also creates deep channels (gullies) while flowing through clayey sands. Sometimes, the top soil is washed away which is called sheet erosion. Counter ploughing, terrace farming and strip cropping can be practiced to prevent erosion.
Sustainable economic development is the development that takes place without damaging the environment and also without compromising with the needs of the future generations.
