Q.3	Consider a scenario where a city implements extensive water conservation methods, reducing wastewater released into rivers by 40%. If initially, 1,000 cubic meters of wastewater flowed into rivers per day, what would be the new daily volume released after conservation efforts?
	a) 1,400 cubic meters		b) 350 cubic meters
	c) 600 cubic meters		d) 400 cubic meters

Q.4	In a water quality testing experiment, you're examining a water sample. Upon adding a specific reagent to the sample, it turns blue. What does the colour change of the water sample indicate about its quality in this experiment?
	a) Presence of CO2		b) Neutral pH
	c) High chlorine content		d) Presence of ammonia

Q.5	Imagine a bustling city facing the challenge of managing heavy rainfall. They implement a green infrastructure system, incorporating elements like bioswales and rain gardens. But what role do these play in keeping the city healthy and functioning smoothly?
	a) Diverting stormwater to increase flooding risks		b) Enhancing pollution in water bodies
	c) Filtering and absorbing stormwater to prevent runoff pollution		d) Reducing access to green spaces for the community

Q.6	In a biology class, students are discussing the various components of the water cycle. How does transpiration contribute to this natural process?
	a) It adds water vapour to the atmosphere from plant leaves.		b) It causes rainfall directly.
	c) It prevents the water cycle from functioning.		d) It decreases the humidity in the atmosphere.
