Sims , businesses and industries need waterto function. Without a continuous supply of water, Sims will leave and buildings will close down. Building a [[#Water Tower|water tower]] or [[#Water Pumping Station|water pumping station]] on a ground water reserve will supply the city with water. Ground water can be polluted by [[sewage]] and other ground pollutants. Polluted water can cause Sims to become sick. Construct your water towers away from [[Sewage Outflow Pipe]], [[Garbage Dump]] and industrial buildings.

==Water Distribution Structures==

===Water Tower===

: ''Main article: [[Water Tower]]''

Water tower are cheap and reliable structures that can be used to solve your city's water problems. In order for water towers to work, they must be built on top of ground water reserves. You can check the water table by opening the [[#Water Maps|water map]]. Areas with darker blue colors have more water than areas with lighter blue colors. Be sure to plop your water towers away from ground pollution (brown areas in water map). Don't build water towers near garbage dumps or sewage outflow pipes.

 

*Water towers are perfect for early game and small towns.

===Hydro Pumping Station===

===Water Pumping Station===

: ''Main article: [[Water Pumping Station]]''

Water pumping station is an expensive structure used to supply a large city with water. A [[City Hall]] with [[Department of Utilities]] in the [[region]] is needed to unlock this building. One [[Basic Water Pump]] module generates over 10 times more water than a water tower. Players can also build [[Filtration Pump]] modules to eliminate ground pollution from your water supply.

 

==Water Maps==

[[File:water data map.png]]'''Water table ''' - shows the water table map. It indicates the optimal locations to build water pump and water pumping station. [[Ground Pollution]] - shows the locations and severity of ground pollution and the buildings producing the pollution. ==Refill Water Table==There is only 3 way to refill the water table.*Rain season, which randomly occurs.*The [[Sewage Treatment Plant]] refill the ground with 100% of used water tower.*River or coastline will refill progressively.
