Water is one of the necessity necessities of life. 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.
Building a water tower on a ground water reserve will supply the city with water. *Water flows through [[roads]] to reach various [[zones]] and [[ploppables|structures]]
*Water flows through [[roads]] Make sure to reach various [[zones]] and [[ploppables|structures]]keep your water towers away from ground pollution.
Ground water can be polluted by *[[sewageWater Tower]] 's and other ground pollutants[[Water Pumping Station]]'s will eventually pump all the water out of the water table around where they are located.
*Polluted water can cause sims to become sick[[#Refill Water Table|Water table]] is replenished by rain or through the purification of sewage by the [[Sewage Treatment Plant]].
==Water Distribution Structures==
===Water Tower===
: ''Main article: [[Water Tower]]''
Water towers tower are cheap and reliable structures that can be used to supply 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 city [[#Water Maps|water map]]. Areas with darker blue colors have more water than areas with lighter blue colors. Be sure to plop your watertowers away from ground pollution (brown areas in water map). Don't build water towers near garbage dumps or sewage outflow pipes.
*They must be built on top of groundwater reservesWater towers are perfect for early game and small towns.
A single water tower can supply thousands of sims with water.===Hydro Pumping Station===: ''Main article: [[Hydro Pumping Station]]''
*It is perfect for early game and small towns. Requires [[Cities of Tomorrow]] [[DLC|expansion]]
===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.
*Its initial cost is very high.
One ==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 generates more than 10 times more water per hour than a water tower.
