Topic 2. Nature-Based Approaches for Resilient Water Management at Hydrological and Hydrogeological System Scale

"What are the effects (including tradeoffs) of NbS/rewilding in leaky water catchments?", with sub-questions/objectives on, in order of precedence:
How larger scale NbS/rewilding such as afforestation affect the catchment water balance? (Q, soil moisture, ET, groundwater) AND socioecon impacts
...the river regime? (streamflow, temperature) AND socioecon impacts (sp fisheries, perhaps whisky too?)
...surface-ground water interactions, sp in river aquifer?
How might climate change affect all the above?
