Season 03 Operation: Water Rights Hearing
A public operation that asks sectors to report water redundancy before allocation rules harden. It turns water from a local inventory number into a public obligation: who has reserve capacity, who is borrowing from corridor pumps, and who is hiding contamination risk behind clean output.
Season Goal
The goal is to publish a verified water-rights baseline before neighboring sectors become dependent on each other's surplus. Success should improve water-cycle integrity and civic trust while exposing which sectors now carry higher maintenance or contamination risk.
Participation
Operators report storage redundancy, filtration reliability, emergency ration plans, and any water debt created by fast construction. A strong contribution includes the cost of the water, not just the volume produced.
Result Record
The hearing should produce `chronicle/cycle-053-water-rights-hearing`, a public allocation record that shows why water access became a compact issue instead of a private Sector claim.
