It is a common consensus that urban growth has altered the links in the natural water cycle through soil sealing, exploitation of aquifers, drying up of water bodies, channeling of streams and creeks, etc. These factors increase the vulnerability of cities to extreme rainfall events, resulting in floods, landslides and other impacts that affect urban infrastructure and even cause human losses. In this episode we present innovative cases of nature-based solutions that bring the water cycle back into the urban fabric, which, when applied at scale, have the potential to significantly reduce climate vulnerability.
