Good practices in the handling and management of rainwater. Case studies in the Bajo Segura region
Main Article Content
Abstract
Urban runoff and its consequences have become one of the major problems in the cities of the southeast of the peninsula. Its management has undergone a paradigm shift in recent years, with an increasing focus on Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) and Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). Some of the latest examples developed have been implemented in several municipalities in the Bajo Segura region of Alicante, such as Rojales, Daya Nueva and San Fulgencio, which have used various methodologies integrated into green spaces or areas. The aim of this research is to provide information on these infrastructures and how they work, based on interviews and field trips carried out with the personnel responsible for the execution of these projects. Their entry into operation represents a commitment to more efficient and environmentally friendly water management based on the reuse of water.
