Discussion
Match the Impact Assessment Methodologies (List - II) with the corresponding environments (List - I). Identify the correct answer from the codes given below the lists.
| List - I | List - II |
|---|---|
| a. Air | i. Ecosystem models |
| b. Biological | ii. Gaussian models |
| c. Water | iii. Mass balance approach |
| d. Land | iv. G.I.S. |
Codes : a b c d
Answer: A
The correct matching is air with Gaussian models, biological with ecosystem models, water with the mass balance approach and land with G.I.S., the code 'ii i iii iv'. Gaussian plume models predict the dispersion of air pollutants. Ecosystem models are used to predict impacts on biota, and the mass balance approach tracks the inputs and outputs of pollutants in water bodies. Geographic information systems handle land-use and spatial overlay. The other codes assign a method to an environment it does not suit, such as G.I.S. to air.
