About NATMed

NATMed is an EU-funded project through the PRIMA Program aiming to develop, apply and validate a set of NbS integrated into existing grey and natural water infrastructures and based on specific phases of the water cycle, in order to optimize water-related and water-dependent ecosystem services.

Under the "Challenges" category, users can gather information on a wide range of topics related to water management. When making selections, you can focus on your interests, geographical regions, or professional and academic needs. These headings encompass main challenges such as water security, food security, climate change adaptation and mitigation, allowing users to concentrate on specific issues and explore solution strategies


?
Under the "Ecosystem Service" category, users can decide which ecosystem services they want to prioritize. Ecosystem Services are identified in relation to water-related (water quantity, water quality etc.) and water-dependent ecosystem services (land, environment, etc.) The NATMed decision making tool helps users acquire information tailored to their specific needs.

To identify the needs and characteristics of each region to co-design the most suitable solution, three types of scales are identified. Superficial storage systems: Techniques for collecting and storing precipitation waters. This option caters to users aiming to manage surface water resources effectively. Groundwater storage systems: The storage of water in underground reservoirs. This option is crucial for those looking to sustainably utilize groundwater resources. Distribution systems: Effective conveyance of water to usage points. This option targets users seeking to manage the efficient distribution and usage of water.


?
This category provides users with the opportunity to identify and offer various technical solutions with some specific infrastructures focusing on FWC-NbS concept. Wastewater treatment and storage: Systems for treating and storing wastewater. This option enables users to effectively process and store their wastewater. Natural wetland complex: This option is directed towards users interested in exploring the role of natural wetlands in sustainable water management. Aquifer: This option is crucial for users seeking to understand and manage underground water reservoirs. Aquifer Complex: This option caters to users interested in examining intricate aquifer setups. Surface artificial channel: This option targets users who want to understand how water can be managed through artificial channels on the surface.
