The Green Roads for Water approach by MetaMeta develops rural roads that have secure transport functions combined with beneficial water management and climate resilience. The opportunities are abundant: road bodies and road crossing can be used to systematically harvest water; road bodies and culverts can control water levels in wetlands and agricultural areas. Integrating road and water development can contribute to flood protection, sand harvesting, regreening, nature protection and sand dune control.
