Nature-based solutions for flood mitigation : environmental and socio-economic aspects

Nature-based solutions for flood mitigation : environmental and socio-economic aspects / volume editors, Carla S.S. Ferreira, Zahra Kalantari, Thomas Hartmann, Paulo Pereira ; with contributions by X. Alvarez [and 65 others].

This book provides an overview of the typical nature-based solutions (NBS) used for flood mitigation at different scales and in different areas (e.g. from catchment to hillslope scale; from urban to coastal areas). NBS can provide several ecosystem services, such as water regulation and water qualit...
