Water is scarce and needs to be shared around. You must deliver the bubbles of water from the river to the wetlands, farms and communities, whilst keeping the river mouth connected to the ocean. Control dam releases to quench the thirst of all your water consumers through the challenges of flood, drought, evaporation, seasonal changes, salinity, watertable rise and increased water demand.

Levels are based on historic periods and provide examples of some of the challenges in managing water resources.
