Natural Water Retention Measures
Posted on 15:48 by Gor
Natural Water Retention Measures (NWRM) are measures that aim to safeguard and enhance the water storage potential of landscape, soils and aquifers, by restoring ecosystems, natural features and characteristics of water courses, and by using natural processes. They are green infrastructure solutions and they support adaptation, reducing vulnerability of water resources.
The NWRM initiative is a project of DGENV for collaboratively building knowledge and promoting best practice on Natural Water Retention Measures in Europe. You can find the key concepts used and resources to help you develop your own measures in the official site of the project www.nwrm.eu . Progressively you will find a catalogue of case studies along with a practical guide to implement NWRMs.
