rising water Level???

[Thingvellir]

I´m playing Citys Skylines the first time an have a strange problem.
I started at Black woods. There is a bay with nealry no flow at one side of the starting area. This was the area to start and as it happens it got my industrial zone now. So it dosen´t matter do pump my dirt water in this bay.
But now the waterlevel of this bay is rising! Is this normal???

Can you clarify here? If you are pumping sewage into a lake, the water level will definitely rise.

having the same "Problem" at blackwater. The water seems to rise ever so slightly, i have ~10 pumps and about the same number of sewage pipes scattered acros the whole map, but the water is getting a little higher. atm i didn't have to adjust anything except some rails, but this might be an issue worth looking into.

Water Towers use Ground Water - meaning when you deposit their water with Drainpipes, you are adding to the water.

Water Pumps actualy remove water from the source and move it. This can result in, for example, reversal of river movement toward the pipes.

Drainpipes that deposit water doesn't care where it came from. Most of the time you will never notice this. But on maps with say, exactly 2 equal bodies of water, you will notice some disturbances.

My guess - you are using water towers, or water from a different source that is not your river that has strange behavior. Then, you are depositing the water into your river that is acting strange (faster current, rising levels, etc).

darkwood has a rising water issue and will flood moast of the buildable land if you build a dam down the main river.

but aslong as you never dam the river it will not rise enough to be a threat
