- In what ways does human activity attempt to manage the demand and supply of resources and development?
- Factors that effect the management of resources
- The type of resources
- The issue
- Location of issue
- Scale
- Resource issues
- Depletion
- Pollution
- Extraction
- Assimilation
- Distribution
- Increasing supply
- Substitution
- Search for a new and more abundant resource that does the job
- Maximisation
- Using the same resource but adaption of technology to mean less waste/more production
- Recycling
- Substitution
- Reducing demand
- Substutustion
- Recycling
- Quotas
- Rationing
- E.U CFP
- How the policy ensures sustainable supply
- Quotas and limits set on individual fish stocks
- Limits placed on fishing efforts e.g number of days at sea and size of nets
- Evidence to suggest it is working
- Catches of almost all species has gone down since 1960
- Gross tonnage caught has decreased since 1999
- Evidence to suggest it is not working
- Biological limit of 0 Cod catches was set in North Sea in 2003-2007. However, quota set by EU was between 23050 and 27000 tonnes
- Quotas do not stop fishermen catching fish and then throwing unwanted fish back
- How the policy ensures sustainable supply
- 3 Gorges Dam
- $25bn
- Built on Yangste River
- Biggest Dam every built
- Can be seen from space
- Tourist attraction
- Provides HEP. Will provide enough electricity for 1/10 of China's pop
- Displaced over 1m people
- Tectonically active zone
- Starves downstream of sediment
- Prevents flooding and provides freshwater
- Organic Farming
- Sustainable due to less env damage and better quality food
- Unsustainable due to lower supply and higher cost
- Hydroponics
- Sustainable
- Large output for small area
- Grows quickly
- Highly efficient
- Fertilizers are contained
- Unsustainable because artificial
- Sustainable
- Factors that effect the management of resources
- Prevents flooding and provides freshwater
