All over Europe, it is often possible to observe water resources being wasted while watering gardens. At the same time, many countries, especially in Southern Europe, face a lack of water during warm summer time periods and they cannot water green areas. These, and other places, could benefit from recycling water, or just from restoring their degraded ecosystems. Through this lesson, students will learn about nature-based solutions (NBS) in general and specifically about NBS for wastewater treatment, which can not only purify water from pollutants but provide numerous co-benefits. Through a project-based learning (PBL) approach, students will build a prototype of a constructed wetland.
