Abstract: Water resources are among the world’s most impacted ecosystems. The degradation of rivers, coastal areas, wetlands, floodplains, and other water resources has currently been exacerbated jointly by the growing pressure on these precious ecosystems and the impact of climate change. Transboundary water resources face a special risk, especially if they are not holistically managed by the parties. Massive pollution, catchment, and watershed degradation are some of the threats to water resources (Kupiec et al. 2022). Ecohydrology has been currently growing with more insights as a systemic solution to curb these challenges by enhancing the resilience and carrying capacity of water ecosystems (Zalewski et al. 2010). To this end, its promotion requires a solid justification of its revealed efficiency, and meaningful youth involvement globally to make it sustainable and fasten its adoption. This study seeks to provide the evidential application and performance of Ecohydrological Nature-based solutions and calls for a meaningful youth mobilization to continuously protect water resources sustainably, using Ecohydrology.
