Nature-Based Solutions to Water Management

Abstract

Urban water management presents many and varied challenges to communities and city planners around the world. Increasingly, nature-based solutions (NbS) are being introduced to solve these challenges, offer amenity services, and combat climate change. NbS are described by IUCN as interventions which leverage nature and the power of healthy ecosystems to protect people, optimise infrastructure and safeguard a stable and biodiverse future.
