It is a natural resource that can support daily life. The main natural resources
for humans are land, water and air. Land is a place for humans to carry
out various activities. Water is needed by humans as the largest

in large quantities and of good quality. In addition, air is a natural
source of oxygen for human respiration. A healthy environment will be
realized if humans and their environment are in good condition.
