Play the Clean Water Game

Play the Clean Water Game and see if you can balance the needs of everyone in your city to keep the local pond healthy. You’ll need to add industry to generate income for the city and its residents. But careful, every industry creates some sort of pollution. You can offset this by adding green spaces, but they’ll use up your budget quickly!

In this game, players will learn how to manage the effects of runoff pollution while maintaining a balance between economy and environment. Runoff pollution, caused by rainwater and lingering pollutants, will carry chemicals into your lake, polluting it and ruining the city. To combat this, you can build green spaces, things like rain gardens and parks, that will absorb pollution and make your city beautiful. But green spaces require upkeep, and to get money, you need an industry, which will produce more pollution. Its a vicious cycle that makes for an intense strategy game where players must toe the line between bankruptcy and environmental devastation.
