Unlock the future of water-smart cities with Nature Based Solutions!  Sign up for this inspiring webinar where we share new scientific insights from three nature-based solution (NBS) pilots of the MULTISOURCE project, with a special focus on pathogens and pharmaceuticals. We’ll explore how cities can integrate green infrastructure, store and treat wastewater at the building and neighbourhood levels. Together with Embuild Flanders, we’ll examine lessons that can be applied to the Waterwijzer project.neighbourhood

Here’s a preview of what you can discover:

1. Rhizosph’air Aerated French Wetland: An innovative and compact technology that treats sludge and wastewater—even during extreme rainfall! The system only requires 1m² of surface area per inhabitant and has a capital cost of €200/m². This is a revolution in urban wastewater management.

2. Phytoparking in Ypres: A decentralized wastewater treatment system that also serves as a green parking area. The system reuses 30-60% of the treated wastewater on-site for toilet flushing. Efficiency meets sustainability!

3. Green roofs in Germany: Which green roofs perform better in promoting biodiversity, retaining rainwater, and cooling buildings.

This webinar also showcases the additional benefits and versatility of these solutions, paving the way for wider applications and replication in urban areas. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, engage, and be part of the change!
