OurMED M5.1 Most Suitable Nbs at Each Demo Site for Proper Water Management Are Categorised. Version 1.0

This Milestone document is for reporting on the process and results of detailed characterisation of most suitable NbS for each demo site considering the stakeholders’ needs collected in WP3. OurMED project targets shifting water resources management at a basin scale from a narrow engineering problem to multi-objective actions that, simultaneously, ensure access to fresh water, in sufficient quantity and quality for diverse sectors and maintain ecological functions. Prioritizing NbS alongside artificial water infrastructure such as reservoirs, not only benefits water management but many economic, social and environmental co-benefits at a basin scale. This milestone is a preparatory investigation for Deliverable 5.1, which will include a detailed report on the most suitable NbS for proper water management for demo sites. Here, however, a summary of suitable NbS solutions for each demo site will be listed based on preliminary results and initial interactions with the demo sites’ stakeholders.
