What is an unintended environmental consequence of aquaculture?

Back

Contamination of surrounding water by organic waste.

Front

How can urbanization increase flood frequencies?

Back

Urbanization increases impervious surfaces, which reduces water infiltration and increases runoff.

Front

What is a solution to decrease flood sizes caused by urbanization?

Back

Using new, more permeable materials for roads and sidewalks.

Front

What dietary trend is observed in industrialized countries compared to developing countries?

Back

People in industrialized countries are more likely to eat beef.

Front

What is the heat island effect?

Back

Front

What equipment is best for measuring water infiltration in soil?

Back

A ruler should be used to measure the level of water above the pavers.

Front

What is the purpose of using permeable materials in urban planning?

Back

To enhance water infiltration and reduce runoff, thereby decreasing flood risks.

Front

What is the significance of wetlands in flood management?

Back

Wetlands absorb excess rainwater, reducing flood risks and improving water quality.
