NATALIE wants to address the risks posed by climate change and its impacts such as drought and water scarcity. Therefore, it proposes to advance the concepts of ‘ecosystem-based adaptation’ in Europe combined with climate resilient development pathways, as the instruments for impact driven NBS (nature based solutions). NATALIE comprises a selection of CSs from all the biogeographical regions of Europe, so as to take into account the specific bio-geographical priorities (related to climate change-) and differences in climatic and socio-economic conditions. In Belgium, we will focus on improving drinking water security in Limburg and we will give support through our R&D and get help from our industrial/SMEs partners. We will test the feasibility of using the subsurface as a seasonal water buffer at pilot scale as a solution to become more resilient against drought and water scarcity and evolve towards a climate robust water system.
