Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are increasingly recognized as essential components of resilient and sustainable urban and regional water systems. Yet, their successful implementation and long-term performance depend on robust monitoring frameworks, well-defined metrics, and effective maintenance strategies.
This webinar, organised by Water Europe’s Green–Grey Infrastructure and NbS (GGI&NbS) Expert Group, examines how digital innovation is reshaping the way we assess, manage, and sustain NbS. It aims to foster cross-sector dialogue, highlight emerging opportunities, and support the development of scalable, data-driven approaches to NbS implementation and stewardship.
As the second event in a dedicated series managed by the GGI&NbS Expert Group, the webinar brings together experts from academia, industry, and urban and rural planning to explore the following key themes:
– Highlight the added value of digitalization as a catalyst for enhancing the sustainability and scalability of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) infrastructure and explore maintenance strategies strengthened by digital innovation and facilitate dialogue to promote collaboration and best practices in smart NbS implementation.
– Showcase advanced digital tools and platforms applied to the monitoring of NbS infrastructures through three case studies (Cases 1, 2, and 3) representing increasing Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs).
Welcome, short introduction about Water Europe vision, the role of the Expert Group on Green-Grey Infrastructure and NBS.
