The world has been hit hard by the latest COVID-19 pandemic, and health services and authorities in every country are struggling to reduce spread, fight disease and protect the population. Strict restrictions on movement, social distance and locking in certain cities have been imposed on people and businesses since the outbreak in Wuhan, China in December 2019. However, these widespread lockdowns, social distances and restrictions have led to major changes in human activity and have therefore produced some jarring effects across land, air and sea. Based on your knowledge, you can concisely describe the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our environment and discuss the effects on human activity, the current status of pollution and ways to mitigate pollution. The explanation should reflect to the THREE type of pollutions below:

Question 4
Travel time of a 4ha catchment of a residential land use (C10 = 0.32) in Adelaide is 20 minutes. If the catchment area is equally divided into four parts by the 5-minute isochrones, compute 100yr design flood peak at the catchment outlet. What is the runoff volume generated from this storm event? Compute equivalent ΓΈ index of 100-year design storm event for this catchment.

1. How do different long term climatic conditions (including air
temperature, humidity,
solar radiation, precipitation) affect the performance of concrete,
steel and timber?
2. Discuss the formation of different types of cracking in
concrete. What will be the potential problems if these cracks are
not repaired? Discuss the methods to prevent and fix the
cracks.
3. There are two parts below:
a. What is difference between Minor Destructive Test (MDT) and Non
Destructive Test (NDT) of concrete? In which situation, NDT will be
preferred for assessing the concrete?
b. In order to assess the conditions of slabs and columns of this
