One of the great surprises of astronomy in the 20th and 21st centuries was the discovery that water isn't unique to Earth. In fact it's almost everywhere. By seeking out underground glaciers and subterranean lakes, we can tap a substantial source of local water.
Introduction
The Aquifer Network is a facility that has the ability to raise the water of the body it is on. This facility also raises the pressure in the atmosphere in the form of released mining gasses. Levels beyond V are only reached through events.
