Abstract

Any activity around the world as well as further development of humankind relies on natural resources. The primary deposits, which represent the work that nature offers us, are essential for current and future civilizations. There are several examples of ancient civilizations that collapsed due to the depletion of local natural resources; the most significant include depletion of the forests in Easter Islands, the depletion of fresh water in Central America or the depletion of the agricultural areas in South-East Asia [1]. Nowadays, these examples should not be underestimated and a rational resource management should be enhanced.
