Remove Water

Planning and finished stages of removing water from a canal.

Remove Water is a command players can use to have citizens remove water from bodies of water from areas selected by the player via clicking and dragging. This command can remove water placed in the world by the game, or from canals that were dug out by citizens. Removing game-placed water will turn it into standard land, while removing water from a canal will simply dry it out.

This command is useful for creating natural "bridges" across bodies of water that add access to areas that would be otherwise inaccessible due to the deep water preventing travel. Note that this command won't work if it's placed on only deep water. To remove deep water, the shallow water next to the deep water must be removed first.
