WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE
MANAGEMENT
? is controlling
Sustainable management

the use of a
resource in such a way as to provide equitable
availability and continuous flow of products and
services to the present generation while ensuring the
same for future generations without any harmful
impact on the environment.

Industrialists used to obtain forest resources at a rate for

below the market value while they were denied to the local
people. This happened with the youth of tehri-Garhwal
area of uttrakhand. They formed a cooperative for getting
the forest product but failed to obtain the same. They were
also prevented from plucking the leaves of forest trees and
lopping up their branches for obtaining their requirement.
The contractor would fell the whole trees and destroy the
same forever while the method of exploitation by the
villages will allow the source of replenish after sometime.
Irked the villages started opposing the felling of forest
trees by the men of logging contractor.

CHIPKO ANODLAN
Chipko andolan started in a
remote village called reni in
garhwal in early 1970s. In this
movement, women of the village
used to clasp the tree trunks thus
preventing the felling of tress.

ROLE OF CHIPKO

It helped in conservation and preservation of forests,

one of the most important natural resources.

It allowed the village communities to utilize the forest

produce and allowing the resource to replenish over
time.

It taught people that the destruction of forests not

only affects the availability of forest products but also
the quality of soil and the sources of water.

It forced govt. to rethink the priorities of the loca

people (to whom the forests belong) in the use of
forest produce.

GANGA ACTION PLAN

Ganga along with its tributaries is the largest river system of India. Ganga
is not only held sacred, it also supplies water to more than 50 million
persons. The river originates as bagirathi from gangotri glaciers, five miles
x 15 and manakini in devapryag to from Ganga. Ganga runs a distance
over 2500km. Over the years, the river has been grossly misused cities
and towns along the banks of the river had been discharging some 1000
million cities of untreated sewage. Thousands of industries had been
pouring their unwanted effluents into the river. Garbage and excreta were
poured into it by all the inhabitants living near the banks of the river.
Ganga Action Plan (GAP) was formulated to reduce pollution load of river
Ganga by more than 75%. The plan has been carried out in 2 phases since
1985. The water quality has been tested from time to time by checking
coliform number / 100ml.

IMPORTANT ASPECTS
1- Construction of community toilets.
2- Establishment of electric crematoria.
3- Development of solid waste management system.
4- Treatment of sewage and ganging it into an energy source.
5- Development of ghats and interception.

WATER

Water is life. Graving pressure on water

resources
from
population
and
economic growth, climate change,
pollution, and other challenges has
major impacts on our social, economic
and environmental well-being.

HOW CAN WE CONSERVE

WATER:
- Turn off whats not in use: running the tap while brushing your
teeth can waste liters of water.
- Fix any leaks: Leaky faucets that drip at the rate of one drop per
second can waste up to 10000 liters of water each year.
- Recycle, reuse: Everything takes water to make. Buy only when
you need to and reuse what you can.
- Bath-time: use bucket instead of shower to take bath.

WASTE
MANGEMENT

Waste management is all those activities and action

required to manage waste from its inception to its final
disposal. It also encompasses the legal and regulatory
framework the relates to waste management
encompassing guidance or recycling etc.
The terms usually relates to all kinds of waste, whether
generated during the extraction of raw material. The
processing of raw materials into intermediate and final
products. Waste management is intended to reduce
adverse effects of waste on health, the environment or
aesthetics.

DISPOSAL OF
WATER

LANDFIL
A landfill site (also known as a tip,
dump, rubbish dump, garbage
dump or dumping ground and
historically as a midden) is a site
for the disposal of waste materials
by burial and is the oldest form of
waste
treatment.
Historically,
landfills have been the most
common method of organized
waste disposal and remain so in
many places around the world.

INCINERATION
Incineration is a waste treatment process that
involves the combustion of organic substances
contained in waste materials. Incineration and
other high-temperature waste treatment systems
are described as "thermal treatment". Incineration
of waste materials converts the waste into ash,
flue gas, and heat. The ash is mostly formed by
the inorganic constituents of the waste, and may
take the form of solid lumps or particulates carried
by the flue gas. The flue gases must be cleaned of
gaseous and particulate pollutants before they are
dispersed into the atmosphere. In some cases, the
heat generated by incineration can be used to
generate electric power.

RECYCLING
Recycling is a process to convert waste
materials into reusable material to
prevent waste of potentially useful
materials, reduce the consumption of
fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage,
reduce air pollution (from incineration)
and water pollution (from landfilling) by
reducing the need for "conventional"
waste disposal and lower greenhouse gas
emissions as compared to plastic
production. Recycling is a key component
of modern waste reduction and is the
third component of the "Reduce, Reuse
and Recycle" waste hierarchy.

CONCLUSION

Development is a changing phenomenon with the change of human

numbers. There is a sea change in the use of both non-renewable and
renewable resources . Sustainable development depends on the scientific
and efficient use if the resources . Future is in the hands of the people .
More researches are needed for the finding policy and tools of sustainable
development!
