 Some resources, like sunlight, air, and wind, are called perpetual resources because
they are available continuously, though at a limited rate.
 Their quantity is not affected by human consumption.
 Many renewable resources can be depleted by human use, but may also be replenished,
thus maintaining a flow.
 Some of these, like agricultural crops, take a short time for renewal; others, like water,
take a comparatively long time, while still others, like forests, take even longer.
 Labor or human resources

 Human beings, through labor they provide and the organizations‘ staff, are also
considered to be resources.
 The term Human resources can also be defined as the skills, energies, talents, abilities
and knowledge that are used for the production of goods or the rendering of services.
 In a project management context, human resources are those employees responsible for
undertaking the actions defined in the project plan.
 Capital or infrastructure
 In economics, capital refers to already-produced durable goods used in production of

unavailable for use by others.
 Natural Resources
 Natural resources occur naturally within environments that exist relatively undisturbed by
humanity, in a natural form.
 A natural resource is often characterized by the amount of biodiversity and Geo-diversity
existent in various ecosystems.
 Biotic Resources

forests and animals, and the materials that can be obtained from them.
 Fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum are also included in this category because they
are formed from decayed organic matter.
 Stock Resources
 Stock resources are those that have been surveyed but cannot be used by organisms
due to lack of technology.
