INTRODUCTION According to Douglas and Holland (1947), environment is ‘a word which describes, in the aggregate, all of the extrinsic (external) forces influences and conditions, which affect the life, nature, behaviour andgrowth,development and maturation of living organisms’. Environmental science is called as Multidisciplinary as it brings about an interaction between our natural world . The study of environmental components is multi disciplinary in nature. I t includes all disciplinary such as science, humanities, commerce, meteorology, climatology, geography and other disciplines..

Economics, sociology and mass communication provides the input for dealing with socio economic aspects associated with various developmental activities. A synthesis with environmental engineering, civil engineering and chemical engineering form the basis for various technologies dealing with the control of environmental pollution, waste treatment and development of cleaner technologies that are important for protection of environment. Environmental laws provide the tools for effective management and protection of the environment..

Objectives & Guiding Principles of Environmental Studies: According to UNESCO (1971), the objectives of environmental studies are: a) Creating the awareness about environmental problems among people. (b) Imparting basic knowledge about the environment and its allied problems. (c) Developing an attitude of concern for the environment. (d) Motivating public to participate in environment protection and environment improvement. (e) Acquiring skills to help the concerned individuals in identifying and solving environmental problems..

S cope of the Environmental Studies Expertise in the field of environmental science can be placed as: Environment consultant Toxicologist Environment manager Environmental engineer Conservation officer Waste management officer Scientist in water and air quality Public health practitioner Transport management.

A natural resource is a source of products that are inherent to earth Natural resources include renewable and non- renewable resources Natural resources are exploited to create the products and services that we depend on Natural resource extraction causes great environmental disruption..

i) Forest Resources Problems -s oil erosion ,loss of biodiversity , global warming , Floods, Drought. Causes - D eforestation and exessive use of forests , increased population. Functio n s of fo r ests : Protective function : protect against soil erosion, floods, drought, noise, radiation. Productive function : provide gum resins, medicine, kattha , honey, pulp, bamboo, timber and fruits. Regulative function : regulate level of oxygen ,carbon dioxide, temperature, and water cycle. Accessory function : regulate aesthetics , habitat for wildlife and place for recreartion ..

They increase the moisture content in the atmosphere and thereby provide additional precipitation(i.e., rainfall) in the locality They minimize the extreme variation in climatic condition and make the climate more equable. They control floods during heavy rain by absorbing excess rain water. They prevent soil erosion by checking the force of flowing of water..

ii) Water Resources W ater resources are sources of water that are useful or potentially useful to humans. Uses of water include agricultural, industrial, household, recreational and environmental activities. Virtually all of these human uses require fresh water. Water forms 60% of our body weight. About three - fourth of earth’s surface is occupied by oceans. About 97% of the earth’s water is strong saline and rest 3% is freshwater. Pure, usable water on land is only 0.3%..

W ater D epletion: It is caused by over exploitation, excessive use and unequal access to water among different social groups. i n cre a si n g p o p u lati o n, i n tens i ve in d u s tr i aliz a tion, deforestation and mismanagement of water resources have caused a crisis. Conservation of Water : It is essential for the s u rvival of mankind, plants and animals. This can be achieved by adopting the following methods: Constructing dams and reservoirs Sewage should be treated and only the clear water should be released into the rivers. Industrial wastes (effluents) should be treated to prevent chemical and thermal pollution of fresh water..

iii) MINERALS RESOURCES Minerals are naturally occurring, inorganic, crystalline solids having a definite crystalline solids having a definite chemical composition and characteristic . P hysical properties. Minerals are exhaustible and nonrenewable. Minerals are relatively plentiful. Minerals are over used by industries. Disposal of minerals have negative effects on environment..

Metallic minerals – e.g., iron, copper, silver, gold. Non-metallic minerals – e.g., sand, stone salt, phosphates Uses of Mineral: Development of industrial plants and machinery. Generation of energy e.g. coal, lignite, uranium. Defence equipment weapons, armaments..

iv) Energy Resources R esources which used to generate energy or gives power , heat to drive objects. Matter that stores energy is called fuel. Classified into: Non Conventional. Conventional.

v) Land Resources A rable land (from Latin arabilis, "able to be plowed”)is land capable of being ploughed and used to grow crops. Pollution of water resources from the contamination of soil through which water. sweeps into ground or runoff to the water bodies..

Land is among the most important natural resources. It covers up only 29% of the earth’s surface and all parts of the land are not habitable. The uneven distribution of population indifferent parts of the world is mainly due to varied characteristics of land and climate. Land degradation means: Less vegetation cover. Changes in the characteristic of soil. Loss of natural fertility of soil because of loss of nutrients. Changes in climatic conditions because of unbalance created in the environment..

Causes of land degradation : Deforestation. Soil erosion by wind or water. Rainfall. Industrialization. Unsustainable u rban agricultural practices expansion ..

Food is one of the basic requirements of human being it is the most important material that our body needs for its proper functioning and well being at all stages of our life human diet is not restricted to any special category of food. Man eats a variety of foods, of plant and animal origin, as no single food provides us with all the nutrients that we need ..

i ) Conservation of forest: Use non timber product. Plant more trees. Grassing must be controlled Minimise the use of paper and fuel. Avoid the construction of dam, road in the forest areas..

iv) Conservation of Food Resources Cook required amount of food. Don’t waste the food, give it to some one before spoiling. v) Conservation of Energy Resources: Switch off light, fan and other appliances when not in use. Use solar heater for cooking. Dry the cloth in the sun light instead of driers. Use always pressure cookers Grow trees near the house to get cool breeze instead of using AC and ai cooler. Ride bicycle or just walk instead of using scooter for a short distance..
