OurMED D5.1 Report on Most Suitable NbS at Each Demo for Proper Water Management. Version 1.1

As practical and sustainable tools for improved management of natural and artificial water storage and distribution systems, this report examines the NbS to ensure balanced, high-quality water availability for multiple purposes, including drinking water, irrigation, and natural ecosystem requirements. The characterization of demo sites and the consideration of the stakeholders’ requirements in previous Work Package 2 and 3, has led to the identification of NbS for each demo site.

The prioritisation of NbS alongside artificial water infrastructure, such as reservoirs, not only enhances water management but also yields numerous economic, social, and environmental co-benefits at a basin scale.
