WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT ?Sustainable management is controlling 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 ANODLANChipko 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 PLANGanga 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 ASPECTS1- 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 what’s 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

LANDFILA 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.

INCINERATIONIncineration 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.

RECYCLINGRecycling 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!
