Remove water from flooded places

[Lascivia]

Sorry people I made a mistake and now my suken parking garage is flooded. Is there a mod or an option that helps me remove water? I skipped vanilla prefabs and now I don't remember if there was a service building that could help. Thank you all

if you have the Natural Disasters expansion you can use those water pumpers to remove flooding. if not you can also place a water pump in the area to remove water.

It will evaporate over time if you have repaired the flooding.

Hope the pump idea works, I'm sure it will. The only way I can get any hole to hold water is with a water spawner. All other attempts eventually dry up regardless how deep.

Thank you all problem solved with a pump station, plopped and removed ;)

What to do w/o Disastars DLC? I'm in Editor and forgot to remove small river before placing an intersection there. Now 3 turnarounds are flooded and water can't go anywhere.

This is what I do...

First thing I'd suggest....discover where the water is coming from and BLOCK IT...one way or another.

Second....Buy approx. 4-6 water pumps and place them about 1/2" (onscreen) apart. Connect them all to your water system. Turn them all on and view what's happening. You may have to move them around a bit, especially if one or more of them have dried out the location it/they was in.

If your blocking isn't doing its job, BLOCK MORE.

You can always add more pumps if needed.

Turn off the pumps if the pumping has done its job.

Let us know how it worked.

For those who wonder where the water comes from, note that the water treatment plant does release water.

I have found that, in an emergency - like when a neighbourhood is at imminent risk of destruction from flooding - the landscaping tools are great.

Use the Shift Terrain: Lower tool to dig one or many deep holes right next to any at-risk structures. All the water nearby will immediately pool in the holes, saving your structures.

*Then*, at your leisure you can drop pumping stations on the holes and hook them up to your water grid to drain them.
