d. Pollution caused by industries
There is more establishment of industries and
factories in terai region. Industries randomly
utilize forest, water, minerals, plants, etc. present in
environment. Random utilization of these resources
causes air, water, land pollution. As a result, there is
spreading of diseases, environment degradation as
well as increase of various environmental problems.
Hence, the industries should be established far away
from settlement areas in terai region. Moreover, they
should adopt modern equipments and technologies Fig: 21
so as to control air, water, land and sound pollution.

e. Conduction of Development Activities
Terai region has plain and flat land. It becomes
quite easier in terai region to conduct various types
of development activities. During the conduction
of development works, many resources like forest,
water, soil and minerals are massively and randomly
utilized. There is increase of deforestation, depletion
of wildlife, scarcity of underground water, increase
of air, water and land pollution. Hence, development
activities in terai region should be conducted in a
sustainable way. There should be conservation of Fig: 22
forest, land and water while conducting development
works in terai region.

4.4 Management and Conservation of Environment
Human beings are totally dependent on resources in environment for their proper
growth, development and survival. There is no existence of human life without resources
in environment. Hence, we must utilize various resources effectively. The efforts made
for the effective management and conservation of resources in environment are called
management and conservation of resources. While conducting development works or
utilizing the resources, we need to pay attention for pollution control and make balance
in ecosystem. We must conserve the resources at present and for future use.

Major Activities on Environment Conservation
Various activities are conducted for the conservation of environment. Some of them are
as follows.
a. Forest conservation b. Land conservation
c. Solid waste management d. Pollution control
