Kalaivani P submitted an environmental analysis report to L.M. Mahalakshmi. The report identifies three main limitations of environmental analysis: 1) assumptions made may not always be true, 2) forecasts are not absolute truths and errors are possible, 3) environmental analysis is time-consuming and expensive. It provides general information but not guarantees, and too much reliance on it could be harmful.
