"High up in the mountains, this place is our last retreat. Life is hard but hope persists ; Bella said after drought something beautiful happens in the plains below.
We will reclaim this land, clean the mess hoomans left behind and give back to this landscape the greenery our ancestors talked about."

This is my first map; A small map designed to be a rewarding step-by-step map with an increasing ease and satisfying mechanic of "unlocking area"
It features :
6 bad water sources
4 hidden clean water sources under bad water sources
1 hidden clean water source

The first bad sources only need a few levees to redirect bad water to give the oportunity to erect your first reservoir.
The second source, when rediredcted will let you use new land.
They later may be in the river bed, or need a few terraforming to use the hidden clean source without risk when bad tide approach.

The first thing you gain from redirecting bad tide is SPACE.
You will quickly need space to expend your industries and removing the two first source will give you that.
Then you might need a bit of power, which you can achieve by openning a new source hidden in the ruins.
Ultimately, you will access the great plains downhill with plenty of space for your farms.
