This book provides an overview of the typical nature-based
solutions (NBS) used for flood mitigation at different scales and
in different areas (e.g. from catchment to hillslope scale; from
urban to coastal areas). NBS can provide several ecosystem
services, such as water regulation and water quality enhancement,
and as such offer relevant technical solutions to complement
typical grey infrastructures to mitigate flood hazard and water
quality problems. In recent years, political awareness and interest
from the scientific community have led to increasing implementation
of NBS worldwide. In light of this trend, this book provides
valuable insights into the environmental aspects of NBS,
particularly their effectiveness for flood and pollution
mitigation, and discusses socio-economic aspects related to the
implementation of NBS, including regulatory aspects, cost, and
citizens' perceptions of NBS. Compiling the latest research, the
book furthers our understanding of the role of NBS for flood
mitigation and its relation to environmental aspects, to guide
scientists and stakeholders in future NBS projects. It is intended
for the scientific community and stakeholders, such as spatial
planners and landscape managers. Chapter "Nature-based solutions
for flood mitigation and resilience in urban areas" is available
