A strategic guide to Nature-Based Water Management for climate resilience, water security, and ecological infrastructure planning.

Nature-Based Water Management (NbWM) is a groundbreaking guide that introduces a strategic, systems-based framework for integrating ecological processes into water governance, infrastructure, and planning.

Moving beyond fragmented nature-based solutions, this book formalises the concept of NbWM as a multi-scalar, institutional approach to building climate resilience, restoring hydrological systems, and supporting long-term water security.

Designed for sustainability professionals, urban planners, water managers, and policymakers, this comprehensive resource explains how to embed nature into core decision-making processes. Covering governance reform, infrastructure transformation, blended finance, monitoring frameworks, and cross-jurisdictional coordination, Nature-Based Water Managementprovides the tools and insight to scale ecological infrastructure in both urban and rural settings.

Whether you’re designing resilient cities, restoring watersheds, or aligning with SDGs, NDCs, or climate adaptation plans, this book shows how NbWM delivers measurable impact through integrated, policy-aligned action.
