Which of the following are examples of nature - based solutions for disaster risk reduction mentioned in the Tamilnadu State Disaster Management (TNSDM) Policy? (i) Wetland Restoration (ii) Blue - Green infrastructure (iii) Concrete flood wall construction (iv) Sponge cities
(i), (ii) and (iv) only
Nature-based solutions reduce disaster risk by protecting, restoring or imitating natural ecosystems instead of relying only on engineered structures.
Wetland restoration stores floodwater and recharges groundwater; blue-green infrastructure combines water bodies, parks and green corridors to absorb runoff; sponge cities use permeable surfaces, ponds and green spaces so that rain soaks into the ground. All three are nature-based measures.
A concrete flood wall is a hard, grey engineering structure, so it is not a nature-based solution.
Therefore statements (i), (ii) and (iv) are the nature-based examples.
Hence, (i), (ii) and (iv) only.
