Project Name : Mathematics in conserving natural resources.
Theme Name : Mathematics Modelling
Objective:
To know the rate of production and consumption of certain natural resources
To study the changes in rate of depletion of natural resources with time
To relate depletion with various factors such as increase in population, imports etc.
Mathematical Concepts Involved:
Statistics
Equations and formulae
Mensuration
Ratio and proportionality
Graphical representation and analysis
Material Used: Tray, soil, seeds for the representative model
Applications: To work out the process of conservation and production of natural resources more effectively beforehand to highlight the upcoming problems of unavailability of certain non– renewable resources. We can calculate the amount of coal saved by taking small measures at our own level. It will also improve food security, availability and affordability in the country. Deaths due to starvation will decreases.
Utility and Further Scope of the Project: We will be able to find the severity of depletion of various natural resources beforehand and by planning in a structured way we can also extend the period of availability of that resource. The solution “Our plan” can increase yield of a farm by 1.8 times. The surface area available for cultivation will become about 178.5% of the original.
