(Removed modding related entry from history, reordered sections slighty, shallow water is custom maps only. Adjusted gallery size to new pollution water image (old image was manually placed tiles, not the 1.0 game feature)) |

Water is a liquid which can be infinitely extracted from water tiles using an offshore pump. After being pumped out and distributed via pipes, water can be used to generate electricity by converting it to steam via boilers or heat exchangers. The specific heat of water is 200J / 1°C x unit. It takes 200 joules to heat one unit of water by one degree Celsius.
Raw fish can spawn in water tiles. Water tiles can be removed completely by placing landfill over them. Pollution will turn nearby water green, which is a visual-only effect. The effect can be turned off by disabling animated water in the graphics settings.
Shallow water can appear alongside (or in place of) normal water, which can be walked on, but buildings can't be built in it, and will reduce the player's walking speed. The speed reduction does not effect vehicles or enemies. Shallow water appears as one of two shades of blue lighter than that of standard water, with the mildly lighter blue and moderately lighter blue reducing the player's walking speed by 30% or 20% respectively. Shallow water is not generated by the default map generator so in the base game it can only be found in the tutorial.
