Water Resources Engineering Project

1. The them of the game is to have a tour of 5 zones.

2. Starting from watershed zone then into 4 other zones namely: hydropower,
irrigation, water supply, and sewerage zones.
3. The token will travel the board with a goal.
4. The goal is to move fast through the watershed zone, provide water to
irrigation, supply water, generate energy, and return to river from sewerage
treated.
5. The atmosphere zone controls the board as the weather changes from time to
time. So, if the weather is good or bad, that would dictate the flow in the river.
This river behaviour dictates whether you can move fast through the watershed
zone, provide water to irrigation, supply water, generate energy, and return to
river from sewerage treated.
6. The card component can control the probability or chances in the boardgame. It
can dictate whether the weather is good or if there is a typhoon.
7. The game ends when someone had been thru all 5 zones with a goal. Such goal
could be the magnitude of provided water to irrigation, supplied water,
generated energy, and amount of treated wastewater returned to river from
sewerage.

Penalties or delays in the game could be: typhoon came and there was flood so
you cant move, or too much heat so riverflow is too low, the demand is peaking
so the water level in dams are lowered, or other things you could imagine.

Once you are in a zone, you may return to watershed if you can evaporate back
to atmosphere zone, and then after cloud formation, you can go back to
watershed through rainfall.

If you are in the watershed zone, you have options to go in any 4 zones.

But remember, you have to go all through the 4 zones to win.

BE MORE CREATIVE than this but all the concepts in the slide 3 must be
evident in the board game.

In this project, I would like to know the groups understanding of water

resources as engineering concept.
