What is Resource Depletion?
is the consumption of a resource faster than it can be replenished. Natural
resources are commonly divided between renewable resources and non-
renewable resources (see also mineral resource classification). Use of either of
these forms of resources beyond their rate of replacement is considered to be
resource depletion. The value of a resource is a direct result of its availability in
nature and the cost of extracting the resource, the more a resource is depleted
the more the value of the resource increases. There are several types of resource
depletion, the most known being: Aquifer depletion, deforestation, mining for
fossil fuels and minerals, pollution or contamination of resources, slash-and-
burn agricultural practices, Soil erosion, and overconsumption, excessive or
unnecessary use of resources.

Resource depletion is most commonly used in reference to farming, fishing,

mining, water usage, and consumption of fossil fuels. Depletion of wildlife
populations is called defaunation.

Natural Resource Depletion - The Global Problem.mp4

CAUSES:
• Overpopulation
• Poor Farming Practices
• Logging
• Overconsumption of Natural Resources
• Pollution
• Industrial and Technological Development

EFFECTS:
• Water shortages
• Oil Depletion
• Loss of forest cover
• Depletion of Minerals
• Extinction of species
SOLUTIONS OF RESOURCE DEPLETION

1. Controlling deforestation
2. Reducing oil, mineral and material consumption
3. More exploration and use of renewable sources of energy
4. Protecting wetlands and coastal ecosystem
5. Sensitization and awareness creation
