Win–Win for Everyone? Reflecting on Nature-Based Solutions for Flood Risk Management from an Environmental Justice Perspective

Slowing Down Quick Runoff—A New Approach for the Delineation and Assessment of Critical Points, Contributing Areas, and Proposals of Measures to Reduce Non-Point Water Pollution from Agricultural Land

“…The applied technique worked with both types of pollution and, moreover, it enabled us to assess the catchments (and smaller hydrological units) with an insufficient catchment water retention capacity, where both types of quick runoff and associated pollution occurred. The correct spatial targeting of the appropriate measures is necessary in terms of achieving successful implementation of programs to improve the ecological status of the agricultural landscape [78]. Recently, many studies focused on approaches for the delineation of risky areas and demonstration of methods for prioritization nature-close interventions on agricultural land to mitigate quick runoff and non-point water pollution sources at various scales [40][41][42][43][44][45].…”

“…This fact is due to a certain lack of longer time monitoring data from implemented NSWRM, and especially of the mutually interconnected systems of several measures. The data shortage has been expressed by several authors in their studies, and, moreover, the demand for such complex data and information has also been extensively expressed [41,44,66,[78][79][80].…”

Setting the Stage for Decision-Making on Nature-Based Solutions for Coastal Climate Adaptation

“…Fairly considering all relevant stakeholders' views on value interpretations and prioritisations in the political stage decreases the risk of reinforcing undesired societal power structures (see Haila and Levins, 1992;Melanidis and Hagerman, 2022;Woroniecki et al, 2020). This consideration also increases the justness of NbS outcomes (Cousins, 2021;Kaufmann et al, 2021;Rawls, 2009), the instrumental knowledge on which the decisions are based and the support for them (Cuppen, 2018;Stirling, 2008).…”

“…However, to prevent or anticipate conflict and inform fair consideration in political decision-making, researchers can identify underrepresented political views in the earlier decision-making stages (Jacobs et al, 2020). Value interpretations and prioritisations of stakeholders may, for instance, be identified along the lines of race, class, gender and specieswhere representation in decision-making on NbS is often limited (Cousins, 2021;Kaufmann et al, 2021;Pineda-Pinto et al, 2022).…”

Identifying barriers for nature-based solutions in flood risk management: An interdisciplinary overview using expert community approach

“…Typically, nature-based river dams require different materials, design and consideration on the degree of stabilization in mountainous and lowland water streams (Macura et al, 2017). Coastal measures, such as 'sand motor' in the Netherlands, to replenish sand and reduce erosion during the rainstorms and floods, were only recently experimentally implemented (Kaufmann et al, 2022). In an urban setting, the availability of land for spatial water retention measures is limited, so the current research and field experiments focus on hybrid measures (Alves et al, 2020).…”
