Resources On the Basis of Development

On the Basis of Development
(A)Potential Resources : Resources which are found in a region but have not been utilised due to lack of capital or other reasons.
Example : Rajasthan and Gujarat have enormous potential for the development of wind and solar energy, but so far these have not been developed properly.
(B) Developed Resources : Resources which have been surveyed and their quality and quantity have been determined for utilisation. Example : Coal resource of India.
(C) Stock : These are the material in the environment which have the potential to satisfy the human needs but could not be used due to lack of appropriate technology. Example : Water (H2O) is a compound of two gases, but we do not have the technology to trap the energy of Hydrogen (H2) & Oxygen (O2).
(D) Reserves : Resources which can be put into use with the existing technology but their uses have been postponed keeping in mind the needs of the future generations. Example : Forest, River Water etc.
