Abstract
The acceleration of economic and urban population growth leads to a higher demand for water due to the inefficiency of public water supply, sanitation, and climate change that exasperated management of water resources. The employment of low-cost and low environmental impact technologies is of great value as part of nature-based solutions (NBSs) applicable for the growing number of densely populated areas. This chapter includes recent case studies and trends of integrated multitrophic aquaculture in a scientific and methodical approach which will allow an overall framework for the application of these technologies as part of NBSs in urban wastewater solutions. In ensuring the position of the technological approaches as sustainable solutions, a life-cycle assessment for environmental impact must be conducted.
