A guide to support the selection, design and implementation of natural water retention measures in Europe: Capturing the multiple benefits of nature-based solutions

This guide has been developed as part of the Natural Water Retention Measures (NWRM) project. It places the emphasis on the multiple benefits NWRM can deliver and on the required policy coordination and coherence that is required to make best use of NWRM. It targets European managers, decision makers, experts and stakeholders involved in the selection, design and implementation of NWRM as part of plans and programmes addressing water, flood risk, biodiversity, climate change adaptation, forestry, agriculture or urban issues. In addition, the guide can be of value to organisations financing projects in these policy domains.
