Nature-based solutions (NBS) are transforming water management by restoring natural processes that retain, recharge, and reuse water across urban and rural landscapes. This book is a practical guide for integrating NBS into a circular water economy, where sustainability, efficiency, and resilience are at the core of urban and rural water strategies.
Covering essential topics — such as sustainable stormwater management, groundwater recharge, ecological reuse, and multi-functional green infrastructure — Nature-Based Solutions for a Circular Water Economy presents actionable strategies for urban planners, water managers, environmental policymakers, and sustainability professionals. It explores how natural infrastructure — wetlands, floodplains, riparian buffers, agroforestry systems, and permeable landscapes — can reduce water stress, enhance quality, and support climate adaptation.
With chapters on policy alignment, investment frameworks, and governance models, this book equips readers to scale NBS across sectors and geographies. Whether your focus is integrated water resources management, urban development, resilient agriculture, or climate-responsive infrastructure, this resource demonstrates how circular water thinking and ecosystem-based design can unlock long-term water security and sustainability.
