The Value of Green: Why Cities Must Invest in Nature-Based Solutions

When communities can measure and analyse their water systems, they are better equipped to make informed choices, negotiate water use, and participate meaningfully in local water governance institutions

Dr. Himanshu Kulkarni, hydrogeologist and co-founder of ACWADAM, speaks to Veena about groundwater science in India – from basalt aquifers and rural irrigation to springshed revival in the Himalayas and participatory groundwater management.

In this insight brief, we examine how Singapore, China, and the European Union facilitated research, policies, integrated governance, funding, and participatory planning for the large-scale adoption of nature-based solutions

The conversation explores how sewage treatment plants work, the difference between grey water and black water, what septic tanks actually do, and what nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus do to our ecosystems.

Prof Hubert Savenije, Emeritus Professor of Hydrology at TU Delft, speaks about hydrological modelling.

In the fourth episode of The WELL Labs Show, Ashima Chaudhary (Rural Futures, WELL Labs) speaks about millets, and the Odisha Millets Mission.

The workshop “Closing the Loop: Strategies for Decentralised Water Reuse in India” explored how robust and affordable treatment solutions, reliable monitoring systems, a supportive business ecosystem, and enabling policies around wastewater reuse can be developed

Professor Nandita Basu speaks about nutrient legacies – why nitrogen and phosphorus pollution can persist for decades, even after we reduce inputs.

WELL Labs has partnered with the Swiss Federal Aquatic Institute of Science and Technology (Eawag) to research decentralised wastewater treatment and reuse and enable their adoption in Bengaluru for improved water security
