Integrating Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in various sectors, such as water management, agriculture, and urban development, is pivotal for responding to climate change impacts and achieving sustainable development goals. NBS offer a resilient and cost-effective alternative to traditional engineered solutions, providing many benefits like enhanced soil health, increased biodiversity, and economic opportunities. By leveraging NBS, projects can mitigate risks associated with floods, droughts, and extreme weather events while enhancing ecosystem services, promoting human health, and boosting local economies. The scalability, durability, and transformative potential of NBS underscore their significance in fostering long-term environmental sustainability and societal well-being. Through equitable implementation, strategic planning across spatial and temporal scales, and a focus on stakeholder engagement, NBS can drive positive change, ensuring a harmonious balance between human activities and nature. The multifaceted benefits of NBS extend beyond environmental conservation to encompass economic growth, social well-being, and resilience to climate change, making them a cornerstone of sustainable development initiatives worldwide. This review paper focuses on various types of NBS solutions that can be used for the sustainable management and usage of critical resources, groundwater, its benefits, and challenges during implementation.
