Listing Description
Harmonised, Europe-wide catalogue of Natural/Small Water Retention Measures (NSWRMs) providing a clear, standardised overview of available solutions. Measures are grouped into biophysical, management and infrastructural categories and documented through WOCAT (https://wocat.net/en/database/list/?project=1074), the global SLM database and official UNCCD reference. Each NSWRM is described in concise technical factsheets covering functions, impacts and implementation conditions. The catalogue also integrates practical examples and references from OPTAIN case studies, so users can filter and access information by objectives, regions or measure types.
By centralising knowledge, it supports selection of appropriate measures and decision-making by farmers, advisors and policy-makers. It tackles fragmented information, inconsistent terminology and poor comparability between datasets, offering a user-oriented resource linking science, policy and practice. Integration into WOCAT and the NWRM.eu platform keeps the catalogue accessible and usable beyond OPTAIN for sustainable land and water management in Europe and beyond.
