Rapid urban transformation with economic growth often entails shortage of water infrastructure in developing contexts, implying particularly serious health risks in regions where water uncertainty is increasing with climate change. Taking two small towns, one in China and the other in India, as case studies, interview, questionnaire and field surveys were conducted in 2011–2013. It was found that water pollution due to inadequate sanitation infrastructure is a serious health risk, but that implementation of decentralized sanitation systems (potentially better for water resources conservation) is impeded by decision-making structures. The article outlines a geographic information systems–based multi-criteria tool designed to support decision making on alternative water futures questions.
