A multi-benefit measure increasingly being acknowledge for its importance is the restoration of floodplains that can both reduce flood risk and improve the ecological and quantitative status of waters. Natural floodplains act as water retention systems and support the ecological flow. Measures to restore floodplains can contribute to achieving many objectives, including the good status objective of the WFD and national water policies (EEA 2010). Nature-based solutions (NBS) aim for e.g. multi-functional nature-based catchment management and ecosystem restoration, or enhancing the insurance value of ecosystems. A list of some 300 different nature-based solution measures and their linkage to ecosystem services shows, how diverse the use and their applicability in several sectors, like flood protection, climate change adaptation, sustainable urban development or water management, can be (Sutherland, et al., 2014).
