NBS is defined and characterized in terms of water source, contaminants, removal mechanisms and resource recovery potential. The case studies presented illustrate the appropriateness of NBS promoting climate resilience. Readers will discover a technology portfolio based on a number of demonstration sites in the fields of climate change adaption, water and wastewater treatment, resource recovery and re-use, and restoring ecosystems to promote the use of nature based solutions. The chapters in th present a multidisciplinary approach involving social scientists, governance representatives and engineers. The underlying philosophy of th is the circular economy of water which prioritizes the concepts of resource recovery and resilience within water resource management. The first section of th presents the background and objectives of the study, and how the action group aims to promote the use of nature based solutions through its diverse technology portfolio.
