IHE Delft project creates web application to assess nature-based solutions for climate adaptation
Choosing the right nature-based solutions for climate adaptation is tricky. Will measures such as blocking ditches, restoring wetlands or creating infiltration ponds give the best results? Or is tree planting or heathland restoration better? Or other measures, or a combination? A new application, developed by IHE Delft, in collaboration with Open University and the Province of Noord Brabant, helps decision-makers in the Dutch-Belgian Aa or Weerijs river catchment evaluate solutions.
