What is WaterProof?


WaterProof provides a rapid and indicative NbS investment portfolio and associated ROI. The tool is intended to engage stakeholders interested in exploring solutions to local water challenges and prioritization of locations for possible NbS water security programs (such as Water Funds).

Before starting
What is a case study
Support data
See an example
Who can use the system



You must be clear about the location of the analysis, infrastructure, budget and objectives of the NbS portfolio

It is the way to relate operation and maintenance cost of infrastructure with possible benefits of NbS

WaterProof uses global data for biophysical characterization, land use / land cover, and climate change scenarios, which have been configured as inputs to the InVEST and RiOS models

Here you will find a complete example of a case study with the description of all the elements and steps developed for its configuration. We hope that it serves as a guide to build your own case study

WaterProof is mainly aimed at professionals in charge of designing projects for the implementation of Nature-based Solutions. The general public can access openly.
