Questionnaire for Section 2: What are NSWRM?

  1. What are Natural Small Water Retention Measures (NSWRM) designed to enhance?
    • a) Industrial productivity
    • b) Natural capacity of landscapes to retain water
    • c) Urban infrastructure
    • d) Air quality

 

  1. List two primary purposes of NSWRM.

 

 

  1. How do NSWRM help in managing water quantity?
    • a) By increasing runoff
    • b) By reducing runoff and increasing infiltration
    • c) By redirecting water to urban areas
    • d) By decreasing groundwater levels

 

  1. What are two key benefits of enhancing water retention and availability through NSWRM?

 

 

  1. How do vegetative buffers contribute to water quality improvement?
    • a) By increasing surface runoff
    • b) By trapping sediments and absorbing excess nutrients
    • c) By redirecting pollutants to water bodies
    • d) By reducing soil fertility

 

  1. Which NSWRM technique supports groundwater recharge?
    • a) Constructed wetlands
    • b) Retention ponds
    • c) Infiltration basins
    • d) Mulching

 

  1. How do NSWRM reduce flood risks?
    • a) By increasing the speed of water flow
    • b) By storing excess rainwater and reducing runoff volume
    • c) By redirecting water to urban areas
    • d) By increasing soil erosion

 

  1. Describe one way in which NSWRM mitigate drought impacts.

 

 

  1. What role do NSWRM play in promoting biodiversity?
    • a) By creating and maintaining habitats for various species
    • b) By reducing water availability
    • c) By increasing soil erosion
    • d) By reducing vegetation cover

 

  1. How do NSWRM contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation?
    • a) By increasing greenhouse gas emissions
    • b) By improving water retention and reducing erosion
    • c) By decreasing soil fertility
    • d) By promoting industrial development
