Aqueducts: You may place a length of aqueduct by
clicking on a line of map squares, one at a time, or by
dragging across a map area while holding your mouse
button down. An aqueduct can only be used to send
water from one reservoir to another reservoir. In this
way, you can send water all over your city. You cannot
connect aqueducts to Fountains or Wells.
Wells: A well is a cheap way to create a water supply
for a relatively small area. Wells do not create any pipe
access. They can be built anywhere, but they only
supply a primitive water supply that will limit land
values.
Rivers: Rivers can serve as a primitive water supply for
people along its banks, but people do not like this, and
it will severely limit land values.
The following is a good way to begin to create a water
system:
1) Place a reservoir next to a river.
2) Click on the pull down menu above the Overview
Map, select the Color Overlay Map for Water, and
click on the three-colored Legend Square. You should
see a color-coded area of water supply, and a
further-reaching area of pipe access (the smaller
area will be purple, because it contains both
types). Make sure that pause is turned off for at
least a moment so that the game can register
any changes.
3) Place a fountain on the Main Map within
the reservoir’s range of pipe access. Then
check the Overview Map again. You should
