The implementation of blue and green infrastructures is far from systematic, as it comes up against a number of limitations in current knowledge of the ecosystem services they can provide. This is mainly due to the lack of feedback on existing structures. Very few of them are equipped with sensors and/or a monitoring protocol that would provide a better understanding of their actual functioning.
