The two correct answers regarding possible environmental impacts of flooding are:

  1. Damage to infrastructure
  2. Pollution of water supply

While groundwater recharge can be a positive effect and reduction in tourism can occur as a secondary economic impact, the primary environmental impacts in this context are the damage to infrastructure and pollution of water supply. Damage to homes is also significant but falls under the broader category of infrastructure.
