Nature-based solutions
Nature-based solutions & ecohydrology
Connect ecological processes with a defined water-quality, hydrological or restoration objective and a practical monitoring plan.
The decision
Questions to resolve
- What function must the system deliver, and under which loading conditions?
- How do hydrology, vegetation, sediment and biogeochemistry interact at the site?
- Which treatment, ecological and climate-resilience claims can be demonstrated?
A useful starting point
Information to bring together
- Flow and load ranges, source-water quality and upstream treatment assumptions.
- Land, hydroperiod, connectivity, climate, vegetation and maintenance constraints.
- Baseline observations, target outcomes, monitoring access and responsible operators.
What BGF can provide
Outputs for the next step
- NBS suitability and hybrid-options review.
- Conceptual water–soil–plant–microbial process assessment.
- Monitoring framework linking intended benefits to measurable evidence.
The contribution is scientific assessment and concept support. Ecological surveys, permitting, detailed design and construction are assigned to the appropriate specialists.
