The impacts of natural disaster can be significant beyond the geographical boundary of a country. The developmental activity in one country could impact its neighbouring country (Deka, 2021) so it is important to consider the broader or downstream area while studying the environmental impact assessment.

This is a technique developed to deal with visually intrusive limestone and chalk excavations. One method used in limestone quarries has been restoration blasting, where the technique seeks to form a scree and headwall-type landform found in limestone dales in central England. A similar principle can be applied to other screening landforms.
