Natural Water Retention Measures

Natural Water Retention Measures are strategies that use natural landscape features to manage and store water, helping to reduce flooding and improve water quality. These include planting vegetation, restoring wetlands, creating green roofs, and using permeable surfaces that allow water to soak into the ground instead of running off quickly. By mimicking natural processes, these measures slow water flow, promote groundwater recharge, and filter pollutants, contributing to a healthier ecosystem and more resilient communities. They are environmentally friendly approaches that work with nature rather than against it.
