Nature-based solutions for resilient cities

The world is being rapidly transformed by the processes of urbanization and climate change. With these changes, many harmful consequences are felt, especially on water resources. Sustainable urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) offer tools to lessen the impacts of these problems by creating spaces in urban environments where rainfall can be collected by vegetation and soil.

Germany and climate adaption: the case for water reuse

Kemira recently commissioned an international consumer survey to better understand people’s attitudes and concerns related to water. Here we focus on the results from Germany, where 74%% of the respondents believe water is the country’s most valuable resource.
