Question 11: Match the Flooding Impact with its proper Category

  1. Socio-economic Downfall:
    a. It is very Expensive to restore a community after a flood

  2. Environmental Benefit:
    c. Ecosystems may thrive because of the nutrients the incoming flood water brought to an area.

  3. Environmental Downfall:
    e. Destruction of Habitats

  4. Health and Safety Issue:
    b. Flooding of sewage systems can cause contamination of drinking water.
    d. Flooding can deplete aquifers (underground water)

(Note: Since there are two options under "Health and Safety Issue," only one is needed as per the original request. However, including both for completeness helps understand health implications better.)

Question 12: Which of the following is FALSE about Green Roofs?

The false statement is:
a. The purpose of a green roof is to increase our land area for farmland.

Green roofs are primarily designed to provide insulation, support biodiversity, and manage stormwater, rather than to expand available farmland area.
