Abstract:
In the 21st century, new development models are urgently required in cities to meet the challenges of extreme weather, flood disasters, etc., thereby “Nature-based Solutions”(NbS) came into being. The principles, core ideas and types of NbS, and the current situation of development at home and abroad were introduced based on the origin and development of NbS concept. It is considered that new stormwater management systems, such as low impact development, water sensitive urban design and sponge city are the applications of NbS in water management. The paper developed and explained the concept of “Natural-based Solutions for Water Challenges”, sorted out its specific types and evaluation system in water management, and analyzed the policy, planning, scheme and implementation effect of using NbS in response to flood disasters by taking the Netherlands, Denmark and Vietnam as examples. Finally, the challenges of its development and the relevant suggestions for promotion in China were discussed.
