I. Ad hoc method is used in the situation where time is a constraint or there is a lack of information. II. The matrix technique is a qualitative environmental impact assessment method. Correct Answer Both I and II

The correct answer is both I and II.

Key Points

  • Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process of evaluating the environmental impacts of a proposed project, taking into account inter-related socio-economic, cultural and human-health impacts, both beneficial and adverse.
  • UNEP defines Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as a tool used to identify the environmental, social and economic impacts of a project prior to decision-making.
  • Important methodologies for assessing the impacts of any developmental activity on the environment are given below:
    • Ad hoc method
    • Matrix method
    • Checklist method
    • Network method
    • Overlay method
    • Environment Index using factor analysis
    • Cost/Benefit analysis
    • Predictive or Simulation methods
  • The ad hoc method is used in a situation where time is a constraint or there is a lack of information.
  • The matrix technique is a qualitative environmental impact assessment method.

 Thus, we can say that both statements, I and II are correct.
