Soil conservation includes all such measures which protect the soil from erosion and restore its fertility. These measures are of two types-(a) small measures to check soil erosion at local or even individual level‚ and (b) large measures at government level involving larger area and heavy investment. (a) Small Measures-These include afforestation‚ regularised land strip cultivation or contour farming or terrace farming in hilly areas‚ use of stubble mulch system‚ increasing cohesiveness of the

most neglected commodity on the earth. Shifting cultivation on the hill slopes‚ non-adoption of soil conservation techniques‚ and over exploitation of land for crop production due to population stress‚ leads to enormous soil erosion. It will take hundreds of years to form an inch of soil‚ but in no time it gets washed away down the slope due to erosion.

less heeded. The importance of soil conservation is relatively less talked about as compared to the conservation of water and other natural resources. The almost-omnipresent soil is mostly taken for granted. Its omnipresence is ironically the reason behind us‚ human beings‚ taking it for a ride. We rarely even think of it as a natural resource that needs to be conserved‚ a part of the natural wealth that needs to be preserved. The concept of the conservation of soil takes into account‚ the strategies

Energy Conservation Jessica Goode Axia College of University of Phoenix We all use energy each and every day. We use energy for entertainment‚ cooking‚ transportation‚ lighting‚ heating‚ cooling‚ manufacturing‚ as well as many other things. According to the Webster Dictionary (2009)‚ energy is defined as just being active. If that is truly the case‚ then anytime we are doing anything we are being active and using up energy. Shouldn’t we try to conserve more energy if that is the case? According

WATER CONSERVATION Water conservation encompasses the policies‚ strategies and activities to manage fresh water as a sustainable resource to protect the water environment and to meet current and future human demand. Population‚ household size and growth and affluence all affect how much water is used. Factors such as climate change will increase pressures on natural water resources especially in manufacturing and agricultural irrigation. The goals of water conservation efforts include as follows:
