Naturem Solutions contributes to improving water management at territorial and watershed scale<\/strong>, from catchment areas (agricultural, forest and natural watersheds) to valley bottoms (river renaturation). This approach is inspired, among other things, by the principles of regenerative hydrology<\/strong> and low-tech process-based restoration of riverscapes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Restoring the natural water cycle<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][dsm_icon_divider image=”https:\/\/www.naturem-solutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/icone-feuille-160.png” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dsm_icon_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”550px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Land development and human activities and practices have an impact on the water cycle<\/strong> and on the condition of watercourses. These phenomena can increase runoff and erosion<\/strong>, reduce aquifer recharge<\/strong>, cause flooding<\/strong> through overflow, increase irrigation<\/strong> needs, lead to pollution of water bodies<\/strong>, river straightening and channel incision<\/strong>, and reduce biodiversity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A regenerative approach<\/strong> to territorial water management, involving adaptation of practices at plot scale, makes it possible to restore the natural water cycle<\/strong> (retention, evaporation, infiltration, etc.). Further downstream, low-tech infrastructure inspired by natural processes<\/strong> enable watercourses to reconnect with their floodplains and gradually regain a \u201cfree\u201d flow regime, with all the collateral benefits.<\/p>\n

We propose to study\/assess impacts and support you in implementing developments at plot or watershed scale that allow natural processes<\/strong>, mainly linked to water-soil-plant interactions<\/strong>, to restart.<\/p>\n

We also support you in defining and constructing low-tech structures<\/strong> for rivers.<\/p>\n

Preliminary diagnosis of the watershed or stream<\/h3>\n

The territory and watershed are diagnosed, taking account of existing human uses and activities. Hydrological calculations<\/strong> are performed to characterise flows according to selected rainfall events, and existing water pathways<\/strong> are identified.<\/p>\n

For watercourses, the baseline assessment<\/strong> identifies key points for attention: biological condition and species to protect (where applicable), risks or opportunities associated with the floodplain, the most appropriate sections, etc.<\/p>\n

Selection and design of landscape structures<\/h3>\n

Based on the first stage and integrating agricultural practices (soil conservation, etc.), we propose and size developments and structures at plot or territorial scale. These include tree and hedge planting<\/strong> (including agroforestry), grassland areas and revegetation, excavation of different types of ponds<\/strong>, retention areas, wetlands<\/strong> and tall-herb communities, as well as arrangements designed to slow water pathways<\/strong> between them. The importance of living and functional soil<\/strong> is not overlooked, and water quality is also taken into account, especially for applications involving protection of drinking water abstraction areas<\/strong> (focus on water resource protection).<\/p>\n

The study also includes an assessment of the impact of these nature-based solutions<\/strong> against the objectives, whether they relate to flood<\/strong> and erosion control, water quality, water resources<\/strong> or resilience<\/strong> to <\/strong>climate change<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Low-tech process-based restoration of riverscapes<\/h3>\n

In addition to defining the objectives (renaturation<\/strong>, meandering<\/strong>, reconnection to the floodplain<\/strong>, etc.), the size, number and type of low-tech structures to be implemented (beaver-dam analogues or wood structures), our contribution consists of supporting the client in organising the worksite (which may be participatory) and its implementation, as needed, while limiting impacts linked to temporary disturbance of the environment.<\/p>\n

In line with process-based principles, the river does the work afterwards ! Nevertheless, we stayed involved and help you to monitor the impact against the objectives, which is always recommended.<\/p>\n

This objective concerns public administration companies, drinking-water producers, water resource and watercourse managers or major landowners, with the aim of reducing the risk of flooding through overflow or mudflows, securing water resources and the quality of water bodies, promoting adaptation to climate change or simply ensuring resilient spatial planning, while helping to improve biodiversity.<\/p>\n

A watercourse with a more natural flow regime provides greater resilience in terms of downstream flood risk, water storage in the soil, water quality (sedimentation, etc.) and habitat variability (temperature, depth, etc.) favourable to biodiversity. This is achieved at a much lower financial cost and with a much lower environmental footprint than projects involving earthworks and infrastructure, which is a clear benefit in programmes such as flood risk management plans<\/strong> (FRMPs<\/strong>), river basin management plans<\/strong> (RBMPs<\/strong>) or the application of the European Nature Restoration Regulation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This approach is inspired, among other things, by the principles of regenerative hydrology and low-tech process-based restoration of riverscapes.Restoring the natural water cycle

<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>Land development and human activities and practices have an impact on the water cycle and on the condition of watercourses. These phenomena can increase runoff and erosion, reduce aquifer recharge, cause flooding through overflow, increase irrigation needs, lead to pollution of water bodies, river straightening and channel incision, and reduce biodiversity. A regenerative approach to territorial water management, involving adaptation of practices at plot scale, makes it possible to restore the natural water cycle (retention, evaporation, infiltration, etc.). Further downstream, low-tech infrastructure inspired by natural processes enable watercourses to reconnect with their floodplains and gradually regain a \u201cfree\u201d flow regime, with all the collateral benefits.Our approach to territorial water management
