What a powerful message this simple illustration conveys: the same rain and the same umbrella; one use results in wasting water resources and resulting in extreme events, e.g., floods, drought, soil degradation; however, the other use achieves, water security, sustainability and resilience! Simple but powerful!
Protect nature: Plant a tree or create a raingarden – use natural solutions to reduce the risk of flooding and store water. Let’s get #Goal6 on track! #WorldWaterDay #WaterAction https://lnkd.in/g52t6DZP

Large scale river overflow areas could be part of the solution to water problems, both in protecting areas against flooding, but also in allowing the storage of water in those years with dry summers. And for the right sites, it could open up some interesting diversification. #naturalcapital #privatewealth #netzero
