Water and aquatic environments / Stormwater, Nature / environment / Nature-based solutions (NbS)
Description
With climate change, soils are drying out and intense rainfall is becoming more frequent and stronger.
It is essential to retain water in the soil or promote its infiltration to limit rainwater pollution, promote aquifer recharge, maintain the humidity necessary for plants, preserve wetlands, and preserve soil biodiversity by promoting the brown infrastructure.
To this end, the water agency supports integrated stormwater management in urban areas, the preservation of aquatic environments and wetlands, as well as landscape designs for water infiltration into soils in rural areas.
