[title] The Waterworks
[validity] all I guess
[desc] As more and more people are moving to the rural areas of @@NAME@@, some of them are facing issues with water- some have too much of it and others too little. As such, there are calls to build infrastructure to move water from the tropics and snowy regions to the desert.
[option] A resident from the desert town of Xerokokalo barges in through your door and starts to rant "It's a bloody outrage it is! Our three year drought meant that me wife's petunias died and I can only flush the dunny once a week! Meanwhile, Greenville has so much water that they ski in the winter on it and dump in the ocean when it melts! So much water just dumped in the ocean! As if the ocean ain't got enough water! Bring some over here! I know it'll cost a lot of money, but we need it! So do all the other towns near here!" @@HE@@ then pours of glass of water on the ground and yells at it to the desert.
[effect] the government has spent ¾ of the annual GDP on literal pipe dreams
[option] "I used to hate it when my town was considered "too small" for daily snow ploughing and I had to fit the chains, so I moved to the tropics, and now it’s even worse," complains @@RANDOMNAME@@, who tipped a wheel barrel full of water on the floor to prove a point. "Every wet season, my new town is shut off for days or even weeks at a time, because the bridge in and out isn't tall enough. How can we build water infrastructure across the entire country, when we can't even build a damn bridge tall enough for the rains? Look, @@LEADER@@, we have to do something monsooner or later, so why not now?"
[effect] it is often theorised that the giant bridges in small towns are compensating for the size of the mayor's tiny community
[option} Whilst your janitor mops up all the water spilt on the floor through the air events emerges Helen Back, a well-known environmentalist who begins to screech "Won't somebody please think of the turtles? Look @@LEADER@@, I know that isn't ideal to have parts of the country flood whilst others are in drought, but some places need the flood waters to sustain the environment and who told people to live in deserts? Why should we destroy the environment for those who choose to live in places in drought and flood prone locations? The water should stay where it is!"
[effect] using your neighbour's flood water to water your plants is a criminal offence
