Nature Based Solutions
The perfect creation in the universe is not by chance. God created this beautiful
world, complete with plants, animals, and
human. Following the universal law of life,
everything on this planet is composed of five basic tatwa (elements) or the
"panchamahabhutas". These are: Akash (Sky or
Space), Vayu (Air), Jal (Water), Agni (Fire) and
Prithvi (Earth).
Nature-based solutions (NBS) are inspired and supported by
nature and use, or mimic, natural processes to contribute to the improved management of
water. An NBS can involve conserving or rehabilitating
natural ecosystems and/or the enhancement or creation of
natural processes in modified or artificial ecosystems. They can be applied at micro- (e.g. a dry
toilet) or macro- (e.g. landscape) scales.
