Water (Civ5)

Water is very important to any civilization and can be found in many forms.
== Fresh water ==
Fresh water is very important for your growth and you should always try to secure access to some for your cities. A city is considered to have access to fresh water if it is settled next to it. Mousing over a tile with tooltips enabled will tell you if it has fresh water.
Fresh water allows you to do the following:
* Cities settled next to any fresh water source may construct a Garden. They may also build Water Mills and Hydro Plants if the source is a River.
* Farms built near fresh water will yield 1 additional with Civil Service. Farms without fresh water don't get that bonus until Fertilizer is researched.
* Allows you to build Farms on Hills and Tundra if fresh water is present.
