Sim City "Water" Trailer

Don't drink the water...

So calling this video a "trailer" is a bit of a stretch, but what we see here is really cool. Sim City is synonymous with nostalgia for many gamers (including myself) so getting to see some features is never a bad thing. Proving that Sim City will be pushing for both realism and terrifying difficulty, we have the water system. 

Coloring the ground to show where the water is makes for an easy way to determine where you're town should go; any good simmer should know that you go where the water is. However, this quick trailer showed us that placement of other buildings, especially the ones that create pollution, can have a detrimental effect on your populations. As we saw here, keeping the power plant too close to the water tower caused pollution in the homes, and therefore some very sick sims. 

So it looks like water is going to be one of the many challenges facing you in the new Sim City... just behind the giant alien that comes from space to destroy everyone.
