Goodlandia wants to generate electricity. It decides to build a dam across the river next
to Cooperville. Fish that live in the ocean need to get back up the river to Lake
Millian in order to reproduce. There is no way for the fish to get upstream past the dam. Also, once the dam is built, the area behind it will be flooded for miles and will
become a lake half the size of Lake Millian.

Atwaterton and Goodlandia decide they want to use more water from the Bulban
River. They sign a treaty agreeing to cooperate in building a new canal. The
canal will bring water from the Bulban River to Allisontown and then to Goodlandia’s
industry center. From there, the canal will empty into the ocean. This canal will take
about half of the water out of the Bulban R.

People of Jefferson city love to go boating on the Bulban River on the weekends. However,
the people don’t like it when seaweed growing in the river gets wrapped around their propellers. Tayloria decides to put
herbicide in the river to kill the seaweed. This same seaweed is home to the tiny Bulban
Minnow, that provides food for the larger fish in the river. Without the seaweed, the
minnows will die.
