Abstract:

This edition of Hydrolink brings to you a taste of different Nature based Solutions employed for water management from around the world, ranging from examples in upstream catchments and streams, large rivers, urban areas, and coastal zones. It is written by members of the IAHR NbS Working Group which was established at the 39th IAHR Congress in Granada (Spain) in 2022 which is rapidly growing and gaining momentum, with presence not only during the World Congresses, but also in other IAHR conferences such as the RiverFlow 2024 conference in Liverpool and the ISEH 2024 in Aberdeen. In all of these events we aim to bring together people with a shared passion to improve water management in a sustainable way, working with nature rather than against it.
