Water is the essential ingredient of life and so early people sought habitats near sources of water.
In time, as the population expanded and consolidated into cities, bringing water to the city became the key to growth. Stories, experiments and games illustrate this development. The natural evolution of routes of communication using waterways is advanced and serves as a focus for the development and expansion of the city. The development of canals to connect waterways is illustrated. From the primitive bark to the modern ship, the means of travel on the waterways is explored.
