Integrated assessment of existing practices and development of pathways for the effective integration of nature-based water treatment in urban areas

Water pollution poses a significant and escalating threat to urban environments, particularly in the rapidly expanding cities of Asia. Addressing this challenge requires implementing cost-effective solutions, and one such approach is the deployment of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to treat septic tank effluents, canals and lakes. This study represents a pivotal step in this direction by...
