Making the most of NWRM
is not just about looking for and selecting a new
typeofmeasure. It is a change in thephilosophyofmanagement andplanning that
takes account of the following key principles:
Principle 1
- Giving
priority to nature-based solutions.
Principle 2
- Joint accounting for thepotential
multiplebenefits
ofmeasures.
Principle 3
- Capturing all opportunities favouring
policy integration
and
simultaneous contributions to the objectives of different
policies.
Principle 4
-Thinking of a
bundle of measures
from the outset, which can
include bothNWRM and grey infrastructuremeasures.
It requires careful adaptation in the different steps of any planning process
being carried out at a given geographical scale (see figure below) so that the
opportunities offeredbyNWRM are adequately considered and taken advantage
of while accounting for their limitations.
