Conservation refers to the idea that "certain physical characteristics of objects remain the same"‚ despite their perceptual differences (Berk‚ 2009). In Piaget’s theory on conservation‚ children gradually acquire various conservation abilities‚ such as understanding the conservation of numbers‚ weight‚ and volume to name a few. Piaget asserts that until they successfully acquire these abilities‚ they have no real understanding that quantity remains unchanged despite perceptual changes of the objects

Soil conservation includes all such measures which protect the soil from erosion and restore its fertility. These measures are of two types-(a) small measures to check soil erosion at local or even individual level‚ and (b) large measures at government level involving larger area and heavy investment. (a) Small Measures-These include afforestation‚ regularised land strip cultivation or contour farming or terrace farming in hilly areas‚ use of stubble mulch system‚ increasing cohesiveness of the

most neglected commodity on the earth. Shifting cultivation on the hill slopes‚ non-adoption of soil conservation techniques‚ and over exploitation of land for crop production due to population stress‚ leads to enormous soil erosion. It will take hundreds of years to form an inch of soil‚ but in no time it gets washed away down the slope due to erosion. SOIL CONSERVATION Soil Conservation is the process by which the loss of soil is checked‚ reducing the velocity of run-off through erosion

less heeded. The importance of soil conservation is relatively less talked about as compared to the conservation of water and other natural resources. The almost-omnipresent soil is mostly taken for granted. Its omnipresence is ironically the reason behind us‚ human beings‚ taking it for a ride. We rarely even think of it as a natural resource that needs to be conserved‚ a part of the natural wealth that needs to be preserved. The concept of the conservation of soil takes into account‚ the strategies

Water Conservation Will there be enough water for a more crowded world? The adult human uses on average about 100 gallons of water a day. Only about 2.5% of earth’s water is fresh and only 1% is actually attainable for usage. The available water on earth has not changed. The same water we have today has been recycled for millions of years‚ we are not gaining any more. The time to do something is now. In this essay I would like to remark on the past‚ present‚ and future of water conservation.
