Ecosystem services in water management

This presentation discusses the role of ecosystem services in water management, with a focus on a case study involving constructed wetlands for treating combined sewer overflow. Key indicators for assessing ecosystem services, such as water pollution control and flood prevention, will be highlighted. The study, supported by the Joint Research Center, quantifies the benefits of this “neo-ecosystem” approach, comparing green infrastructure to conventional methods. Insights on market applications for green solutions and increased stakeholder awareness will be shared, alongside lessons learned for SMEs.

  1. Ecosystem services in water management • Fabio Masi, Giulio Conte • IRIDRA • Brussels, 28 October 2015

  2. Role in OpenNESS • Designers of the ”neo eco-system” used as case study (constructed wetland for combined sewer overflow on-site treatment) • Monitoring and quantification of some indicators used to assess ecosystem services (water pollution control and flood prevention) • Support to Joint Research Center for the quantification of ESs (JRC) Firstname Surname, Organization

  3. Main expectedoutputs • Quantification of the different ecosystem services of the ”neo ecosystem” (pollution control, flood prevention, recreation, habitat to support biodiversity) • Publications providing scientifically sound arguments on ecosystem services provided by an artificial wetland • Quantification of benefits of green in comparison with grey (conventional) options in water management Firstname Surname, Organization

  4. Main expectedbenefits to the company • Deepening the market application of green infrastructure in water management , thanks to ecosystem services they can provide • Increase of awareness of key stakeholders on opportunities offered by green infastructure • Entering in OPPLA network as expert consultants in water management Firstname Surname, Organization

  5. Genericlessons for SMEs • Possibilities to test innovative solutions currently not ready for the market • Strict collaboration with high quality international research centers • Interaction with key stakeholders at different levels Firstname Surname, Organization
