SpongeScapes

On Nov 21, 2024, SpongeScapes held its 2nd workshop in Loosbroek, Netherlands, with local stakeholders exploring future landscape visions for 2050: 1️⃣ Moderate Sponge Scenario 2️⃣ Transformative Sponge Scenario Organized by @GIH_LUHannover, @deltares, & @aaenmaas #SpongeScapes

🌍 #SpongeScapes featured by WWF! The "Watering Resilience" report highlights traditional stone check dams on Paros 🇬🇷 as a solution to water stress in the Mediterranean. 🌊 Find the case study on p.32: lnkd.in/db6yMMvZ @WWFGreece #NatureBasedSolutions

🧽 What are sponge measures? They help landscapes absorb, store & release water, tackling floods & droughts. 🌱🌊 Combining green (nature-based) & grey solutions, #SpongeScapes enhances climate resilience. Discover more in our series! #HorizonEU #NatureBasedSolutions

Reflecting on a year of progress with #SpongeScapes at the General Assembly hosted by @UKCEH on 23-25 October. Field visits to Evenlode catchment, @NewForestNPA, @RealFarmED shared valuable insights on Natural Flood Management / Sponge Measures.

📬 #SpongeScapes policy brief! 🌧️In a Dutch lowland stream, water travel time has fallen from 16.5 days in 1850 to just 9 hours today. Discover how 'sponge landscapes' can improve flood and drought resilience, soil health and biodiversity.👉spongescapes.eu/sites/default/… #HorizonEurope

#SpongeScapes Polish team is studying 💧water retention in the Upper Biebrza catchment. By comparing agricultural vs. more natural landscapes, they're revealing key insights for balancing flood and drought control, biodiversity & farming. 🌧️👨‍🌾 👉spongescapes.eu/article/news/m…
