To make the economy of a state strong, development of forest and water resources is essential. If a state has more number of forests then this forest wealth makes the economy stronger. From forests, timber wood, fuel, grass, bamboo, honey and wax, catechu, tendu leaves, khus etc. are obtained, which increases the national income. Due to the forests, the moisture in the oxygen remains neutral, which decreases the pollution. Nothing is possible without water. When the resources will be in the exact quantity, than only agriculture can take place. India is an agriculture based economy, and agriculture can only be performed with proper water resources. Drought and famine are normal in the state due to scarcity of water.

The rain water must be collected to increase the water resources, because Rajasthan does not have any such river which can fulfill all these needs. Therefore, the state is dependent upon rain only. Productivity will be better on the availability of water resources, by which income of the state will increase. Forests also promote tourism. By this, foreign exchange is obtained even without exports, which is a good source of income for an economy. Forest and water resources can also said to be complementary to each other, because if forests are more, rainfall will be more, by which water resources will increase, and finally, the economy will strengthen by increase in both of these.
