Nature-Based Flood Management: Harnessing Wetlands, Ecosystems, and Sustainable Strategies for Climate Resilience offers a comprehensive guide to using natural ecosystems to address the growing challenges of floods intensified by climate change and urban expansion. As flooding threatens millions of people and ecosystems, this book provides actionable insights into sustainable strategies that align with nature to mitigate risks and enhance resilience. The book explores the transformative role of wetlands in storing excess water, reducing flood peaks, and protecting communities. It examines how forests, riparian zones, and floodplains complement wetlands in managing water flows and highlights urban green infrastructure solutions like rain gardens and green roofs that reduce runoff and increase urban resilience. Readers will also learn to integrate Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) into policy frameworks and leverage innovative financing tools, including green bonds and payments for ecosystem services. With a focus on community-driven approaches, the book emphasizes engaging local stakeholders in planning, implementing, and maintaining NbS to ensure equitable and lasting outcomes. Future-ready practices, informed by cutting-edge science and technology, provide real-time monitoring and optimization of these solutions, making them adaptable to evolving climate risks. Wetlands and ecosystems are not merely scenic landscapes; they are essential tools for flood mitigation and climate resilience. By adopting sustainable strategies detailed in this book, policymakers, engineers, environmentalists, and community leaders can protect communities, restore ecosystems, and pave the way for a more sustainable future.
