Splashdown Webinar #9 ‘Nature-Based Solutions for Water Quality: Conservation, Biodiversity, and Innovation’

In this talk, Robert will present the perspective of a conservation NGO, that often uses nature-based solutions to achieve water quality and quantity goals, but also is interested in biodiversity first and foremost. The experience of conservation NGOs with stormwater green infrastructure will be discussed and contrasted with NBS for wastewater treatment. Also discussed will be the use of treatment wetlands for agriculture runoff, and related nutrient trading markets. Finally, we will end by highlighting the potential for “smart”, high-tech NBS, which seems like an oxymoron but has potential.
