“…Symmank et al [48] used two proxy-based models to estimate nutrient retention rates of NBS according to an extensive literature search from European case studies with empirical data. Castañer et al [45] applied the P-k-C* model [56] to evaluate wetland nutrient removal efficiency using mathematical equations only. Castonguay et al [44] used the Simple Method [57] to evaluate the nutrient removal efficiency of each solution.…”

“…Baustian et al [39] studied the largest area, consisting of the entire Breton Sound Estuary (Lousiana, USA). Di Grazia et al [40], Dutta et al [18], Zhang et al [41], Singh et al [42], Fu et al [43], and Castonguay et al [44] all analyzed water quality at a catchment scale for a specific area, while Gallotti et al [37] and Castañer et al [45] studied specific sub-catchments. On the small-scale analysis side, Zawadzka et al [36] studied several areas that are on the larger spectrum but are limited to the city scale for the water quality modelling.…”

Global climate change and growing urbanization pose a threat to both natural and urban ecosystems. In these, one of the most impacted elements is water, which is responsible for a large variety of ecosystem services and benefits to society. Mathematical models can be used to simulate the implementation of Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs), thus helping to quantify these issues in a practical and efficient manner. This paper presents a rapid review of literature in which the effects of NBS on water quality were assessed with the help of modelling methods. It was found that only 14 papers deal with the topic in regard to NBSs. Most of these papers were published in European countries, using Nitrogen and/or Phosphorus as the studied water quality indicators and focusing predominantly on wetlands. The literature suggests that NBS can positively impact surface water quality, even under future climate conditions, while being a justified investment from an economic standpoint. It is suggested that more information is required in order to expand the evidence base on the effectiveness of NBS for water quality improvement as well as to develop better and more standardized methods to model NBS impacts on water quality.

“…Meerholz & Brent (2013) reiterate that water is internationally acknowledged as a valuable resource; due to limited water supplies across the globe, water optimization and reuse are becoming increasingly important, especially in the wastewater sector. Castañer et al (2020) Posit that the high costs of conventional systems prevent the construction of wastewater treatment facilities, mainly because the raw wastewater must be transported over long distances and frequently requires pumping stations to get to the treatment stations. Due to this, shortage of water sources around the globe, and a push for climate change mitigation from organizations like the United Nations (Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 6), there is a high demand for the construction of new wastewater treatment facilities that are not…”

Constructed wetlands (CWs) have recently gained significant interest in urban wastewater treatment as decentralized sanitation alternatives. This paper seeks to understand the practices, principles, and emerging themes in constructed wetlands as domestic wastewater treatment systems. The PRISMA methodology and the archival research methods were used to identify papers published in the last ten years through Scopus and Google Scholar. The results showed that about 29% were performance analysis studies, and 60 % were pilot studies, indicating genuine interest in the systems but a very low implementation rate. Pollutant removal in CWs is influenced by the plant species, microorganisms, and media type. Water reuse is the significant advantage of CWs, with agriculture being the most reuse activity. The study was limited in that it focused mainly on domestic wastewater. Therefore, future research is encouraged to see the performance of CWs in treating high-strength wastewater.

“…Qin Jianan et al also investigated the benefit compensation mechanism in water resource management, and a Stackelberg game theoretical model was used to derive the agent disagreement utility based on consideration of their spatial heterogeneity in terms of water accessibility (Qin et al 2020). In addition, with an increased focus on ecological benefits, studies on sewage collection and reuse of reclaimed water have been conducted (Castañer et al 2020;Dehaghi and Khoshfetrat 2020). However, these problems should be gradually extended to the field of water resource allocation.…”

To promote the harmonious development of human and water resources, the scarcity and ecological value of water resources should be considered in water resource allocation. In this paper, synergetic theory was applied to the process of water resource allocation, and we constructed a synergetic theory-based water resource allocation model by investigating the synergetic principle of each link of water resource allocation. The objective equation was established for determining the optimal comprehensive benefit of the composite system. Multidimensional constraint conditions were constructed from the perspective of the social benefit, economic benefit and ecological benefit of water supply, and balance equations were established. Order parameters were selected for the social, economic and ecological subsystems, and the order degrees of the three subsystems and the synergetic degrees of allocation schemes were calculated by using the fuzzy mathematics method to provide a basis for the recommendation of an optimal scheme. Finally, we proposed a multicycle iterative algorithm to realize the overall objective of "harmonious development between humans and water resources", which provides an effective calculation tool for water resource synergetic allocation. This model was applied in Jilin, and an optimal scheme was recommended on the basis of a synergetic degree analysis, which shows that the water supply of conventional water sources will be saved by an increase in the reclaimed water supply. In addition, after the implementation of an external diversion project by 2030, the amount of groundwater withdrawal will be gradually reduced, and the water deficit rate will be significantly reduced.
