consider this low-class, so it will be a Limiting
Factor, restricting land values.
Tip: The Color Overlay Map for water can be a
great help to you in designing your water
system. Also, check the Detail option on the
Query Panel to check whether or not a
structure has a water supply.
Reservoirs: Reservoirs provide the foundation of your
city’s water system. A reservoir will only function when
it is either adjacent to a river or connected to a full
reservoir via an aqueduct. You may create a string of
up to four reservoirs, but the outer reservoirs in the
string will be able to supply water to a smaller range
than those closer to the river.
A reservoir creates a water supply in a small radius,
and a zone of pipe access in a wider radius. Houses
built inside the water supply radius will have water, and
they will be happy. Houses built outside the water
supply radius (even if they are within the pipe access
radius) will not have water, and will have limited
development.
In the latter instance, you can make the houses happy
with the construction of a Fountain.
Fountains: Fountains create the largest area of water
supply. A fountain must be placed within a reservoir’s
zone of pipe access. It will then use the pipe access to
create a usable water supply for the area around it.
Multiple fountains can draw from a single reservoir.
Building a network of fountains supplied by reservoirs
is a very effective way of supplying your city with water.
