Paper Abstract:	This paper intends to expose the results of a research that proposes phytoremediation of sewage by Evapotranspiration Tanks, as Nature-based Solution (NbS), in a significant equipment — the Guarapiranga Nautical Sport Club in Jardim Ângela, São Paulo —, whose territory is located in the area of legal watershed protection, characterized by insufficient sanitation and informal housing. This Club, very frequented by local residents, has sewage sanitation problems, which can affect the Guarapiranga Reservoir, to which the Club is adjacent. This problem is recurrent in the region, occupied by low-income population. The methodology was guided by the critical investigation of bibliographic and documentary references of Nature-based Solutions, phytoremediation systems and urban-regional characteristics of Jardim Ângela. Tests were conducted to implement Evapotranspiration Tanks in the restaurant and social lounge of the clubhouse building of the sports complex. The study case pretends to subsidize inputs for its replicability in similar situations of need or emergency. It is considered that this research can contribute to future feasibility and community reverberation as an example in environmental education processes, due to its replicability power for sewage sanitation in situations of need or emergency, similar to the Club and its territory of influence.
