How is the issue of sustainability important for development? Explain with examples.

sustainability means a process where the development can be sustained for a generation. It affords the future generation the same capacity to prosper as the present generation.

The sustainable development aims at increasing the economic growth through meeting basic needs i.e. raising the standard of living.

1. Due to industrialization, the natural resources are overused and apprehensions are made that these resources would not be available for future generation. Sustainability will help in using the resources rationally.

2. The water table has been emptied in many regions due to overuse of groundwater for agricultural, household and industrial purposes. And if it is used more then the entire groundwater would be replenished, hence would prevail scarcity of fresh water.

3. The ecosystem is threatened as deforestation is being widely prevailed.
