Nature-inspired water system solutions for RESilient DutcH sand landscAPEs

RESHAPE brings together a strong interdisciplinary consortium of leading academics and key players in Dutch water and landscape management integrating 1) Ecohydrology to quantify water-nutrient-carbon dynamics in future climate, 2) Natural resource economics to quantify trade-offs between ecosystem services, 3) Land-use planning to develop regional land-use and water system layouts, 4) Regional hydrology to evaluate the resilience and risks of proposed water systems; and 5) Environmental governance to identify governance arrangements that facilitate landscape transformations. We integrate these sciences through stakeholder participation, knowledge utilization, and a novel system-dynamics approach (6&7) to shape a shared vision towards nature-inspired resilient sand landscapes facilitated by robust water systems.
