Heavy clouds push in from the sea, and torrential rain pours down across the city. Parts of the electrical grid spark and fail where the water seeps through. Sustained levels of rain are rare here, and the districts’ rainwater tanks are quickly filled, the runoff pouring along other channels on its way to the river. While the rain still falls, your scientists suggest that it may be worth patching tanks and diverting drains to capture as much water as possible for filtering and irrigation, fixing the leaks into the electrical system as they go.

Do the Districts work to capture more rain, or continue their previous work as it falls?
