Man is
finest, highly evolved and intelligent form of life
created by the mystic of the Nature. The process of
evolution of man on the earth has taken millions of
years - a great scientific odyssey for mankind.
Finally upon the arrival of Man on Earth was rich
and reverberating with pros tine prosperity and
plenty of everything man wanted! The wants seems to
have taken the lead over the Man giving rise to
socialization and colonization's, what could be
called in Demography as the habitats - the origin of
Man’s intense interaction with the environment. The
habitats in their progression to the establishment
of settlements led to the origin of what is known to
us as civilization.
Civilization are resources intensive. The need for
resources would increase phenomenally with the
advancement of civilization. Water the elixir of
life on earth was the most utilized resource by the
mankind. Large bodies of water, which were perennial
sources such as rivers, and their banks in time
became the principal cities for the origin or the so
called cradles of civilization. Besides human
species entire flora and fauna depends on this one
single life sustaining resource - the water.
Modernization leads to greater consumption of
resources on the earth. The entire cycle of
consumption is in fact a fine tuned chemical
equation, which gets balanced with the utilization.
On one side the resources are consumed more and more
the other side the end products of consumption start
affecting the life on the earth-balancing the
equation the Nature’s way! |
