The game is going to now take place in a makeshift place modeled from Harare, Zimbabwe. Why Zimbabwe? They are known for increasing problems related to their water crisis. Zimbabwe water is becoming more and more contaminated as the country becomes more industrialized and urbanized. Their population is growing and their authorities don’t have the infrastructure to sustain safe water filtration. The location of Harare is a perfect storm. Their urban water runoff leads straight to their drinking water resources. The water contamination has lead to Cholera outbreaks in Zimbabwe and its neighboring countries claiming over 10 thousand lives in the region from 2008 to 2009.
Our story...
Our town water infrastructure is inadequate and it’s killing our people, our crops, and our livestock. By adding a new adequate treatment facility and redesigning water runoffs and paths, we will ensure we have safe water practices.
The issues:
- Our water filtration is inadequate to sustain our population.
We’re going to build a new water treatment facility that is logically placed between our water resource and our city. We’ll build the pipe routes from the water resource to the facility and from the facility to the town.
- Our water runoff leads directly to our drinking water resources.
Let’s reroute the runoff to our treatment centers where water can be treated and disposed of responsibly.Let’s also build a route to distant uninhabited area.
- Our Industries are irresponsibly disposing of their liquid and solid wastes.
Let’s route systems from our industries to our water treatment centers.
