Description
Choice, strategy, balance, and . . . water equity? Parts of the planet are struggling to get enough water. Use each region's wealth to build pipes, desalinate water, and conduct research to bring water where it's needed most. Monsoons, dry spells, disease, and even cursed lawn sprinklers can help or hinder your progress. Manage your wealth and water carefully to solve the world's water crisis!
- Take actions to balance global water resources.
- React to global events.
- Make discoveries through research and recruit investors to share in the profits.
- Review and reflect on your strategy.
- Build, upgrade and use desalination plants to create fresh water.
- Play in the classroom or at home.

Ratings and Reviews
I love it! Addicting way to get kids thinking about bigger humanitarian issues
I absolutely loved this app... Once I got it to actually work. At first I was disappointed because I couldn't get it to load. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. Eventually I got it to load, but basically you have to be EXTREMELY patient and just wait for it to move past the screen that shows the developer name. Anyway, once you're playing you immediately get a beautiful gameface and a game that lets kids try different actions to help make all the regions of the world more "green," meaning give them enough fresh water for their populations. Use money to do research or build plants or pipelines. Develop a strategy that gets water everywhere evenly. Yields hours of game time and feels like it's happening in "real time," because every minute, something is changing somewhere in the world.
Love
This game is so much fun! My students love to play it in class!
Disappointed on iPad
Daughter loves this game but it won't run on on her iPad with iOS 9.3.5 despite the specs which say iOS 7 or higher. Starts to load and then just dissappers.
