How digitalization can optimize nature-based solutions to enhance wastewater treatment

  • Instituto Superior Técnico

Project Details

Description

Nature-based solutions (NBS) are a group of green infrastructure for buildings and urban spaces that try to mimic nature to handle pollution. Constructed wetland (CW) is a type of NBS using a simple and environmentally friendly way of wastewater handling in small communities. However, there are challenges to implement CW in larger scales and a high potential to overcome them using digitalization tools. So, how digitalization can optimize nature-based solutions to enhance wastewater treatment?
