Brief me
- Nature-based solutions are multifunctional measures supporting nature while providing key functions for water management
- With nature-based solutions, we aim at enhancing the retention and natural purification of water, thus improving water availability and quality
- Restoration of whole natural habitats, such as lakes or wetlands, may be very effective and cost-efficient nature-based solutions
- Nature-based solutions with a more limited scope, but high potential effectiveness, include treatment wetlands, retention ponds, vegetated buffer strips, and managed aquifer recharge ponds
- Discover the outcomes of a JRC project in collaboration with DG ENV, analysing typologies of nature-based solutions for agricultural water management and providing criteria for their effective implementation
