What to study
Switching to the Water info view washes the whole city into a diagnostic palette: served buildings turn blue, unserved buildings turn brown, and pipes show as lines, so a coverage gap reads at a glance without reading a number. The left panel backs the picture with exact figures (consumption against pumping capacity, sewage production against draining capacity) on red-to-green gradient bars, plus a legend that explains every color on the map, while the water tool palette stays open at the bottom so diagnosis and fixing happen in the same view. Frame at about 0:47 in the Trailer 2020 (Steam).
