Please visit the
NWRM toolbox
that has beendevelopedby theNWRM
Pilot Project.
NWRM cover a diversity of measures that are implemented by different sectors or
considered in different planning processes dealing with water, flood risk management,
biodiversity protection, climate change adaptation or urban planning. Some of these
measures aim todirectlymodify the ecosystem,whileothers focus on changes of practice
of economic operators.
Depending on the main challenges you face in your catchment or geographic area, the
services you would like to deliver or the main policy objectives driving your planning
process, only some NWRMwill be relevant to your situation.Once you have identified
themost relevantNWRM for your own territory, you can findout the basics about them
in the following
NWRM identity cards
.The cards provide:
ņ
ņ
A
short description
of theNWRM;
ņ
ņ
Its relevance to different
types of landscape
, alongwith selected
design parameters
in terms of retention/hydrological parameters and (mainly financial) costs;
ņ
ņ
Evidence on their contribution to the
delivery of different ecosystem services
and
to the
achievement of different policy objectives
.
You can also visit the NWRM knowledge base
)
directly
for additional evidence on their design, impacts and pre-conditions for successful
implementation.
TheNWRM presented in theNWRM tool box are not the onlymeasures that canfit under the heading
NWRM. It is likely that theNWRM tool boxwill progressivelyexpandasnewknowledgedevelops.
Feel free toproposeyour ownadditionalNWRManddevelop their identity cards, ensuring that they still
have thekey features that characteriseNWRM, aspresentedat the start of theguide. Some identity cards
