informal settlement residents in water management can improve social inclusion . Green infrastructure can support the planning of 'sponge cities', such as in China, wherein large areas of green space, permeable surfaces and sustainable water sourcing combine to purify urban runoff, attenuate peak runoff and conserve water for consumption . Similar approaches in Dutch cities focus on designing and planning for the capturing, storing and draining of storm water . However, some interventions suffer from uncertainties in design, planning and financing . As drought becomes more severe in some regions, physical barriers in the form of reduced availability of water may become pressing .
