Challenges / Problems Addressed
• Water pollution from agricultural and urban runoff
• Riverbank erosion and habitat degradation
• Loss of biodiversity in aquatic and riparian ecosystems
Context / Scope of Application
• Rural, suburban, and urban areas
• Along rivers, streams, and lakes
• Agricultural lands, urban developments, and flood-prone zones
NBS Solution
• Strips of vegetation (trees, shrubs, grasses) along waterways to filter pollutants, stabilize banks, and enhance habitat quality
Impact / Success Indicators and Results
• Reduction in nutrient and sediment pollution entering water bodies
• Improved water quality and reduced erosion
• Increased biodiversity and wildlife habitat
• Enhanced flood resilience and carbon sequestration
