Understand the SimCity 2000 water map: white lines show mains, green tiles watered areas, red tiles lack water, and a diamond pattern indicates deficit.
The water map in SimCity 2000 is similar to the main map but specifically details your city's water system. White lines on the map represent the water mains you have constructed.
When your city experiences a low water supply, a diamond pattern will appear in the center of your city. This diamond represents the sections of your city that are receiving water, irrespective of the location of your water pumps. The size of this diamond pattern is directly proportional to the severity of your water supply deficit.
After filtering the water system view, green tiles signify areas that are adequately watered. Conversely, red tiles indicate areas that are lacking water. Blank tiles on the map represent sections where water systems have not yet been established.
- Monitor the water map regularly to identify and address areas with red tiles.
- A larger diamond pattern in the center of the city suggests a significant water supply deficit that needs immediate attention.
- Ensure your water mains (white lines) are strategically placed to cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) your developing city.
