Three municipalities in the Netherlands were looking for an activity to get schoolchildren aware about and involved in solutions to cope with climate change. We organized the Kids Climate Festival with 4 challenges. One of these challenges was:

How might we ensure that utilize rainwater in a way that there are no more fluddings or shortages?

In theory there is always enough water for everyone in the Netherlands. Unfortunately we don’t handle our water good enough. Due to the growing amount of stones and pavement in our streets and gardens, water can’t go anywhere but the sewers. Sewers can’t handle this amount of water.
