Natural Water Retention Measures (NWRM) can be used as measures to meet requirements of the WFD, the Floods Directive and climate adaptation. According to EC ( 2014) “Natural Water Retention Measures (NWRM) are multi-functional measures that aim to protect and manage water resources and address water-related challenges by restoring or maintaining ecosystems …”([1]). Within a recent EU project, about 45 NWRM with multi-benefits for urban areas, forests, rivers, and agricultural areas were identified and linked to ecosystem service benefits as well as illustrated in a number of European case studies ([2]).
