Water sources are a type of natural structure. Unlike other natural structures, water sources can not be built by  beavers, nor placed or plopped by a player. Because of this restriction, all official maps provide multiple water sources. Water sources are also the only source of water in Timberborn.

Flowing water can be pumped by water pumps to produce  water that  beavers can drink to satisfy thirst, a basic beaver need. As such, proper management of water sources is absolutely vital for the survival of  beavers.

During a Badtide, all water sources on the map produce flowing Badwater instead of water.

Notice

Flowing water from a water source will continue to flow until it reaches an edge of the map. Once flowing water reaches the edge of a map it will flow over the edge of the map and de-spawn. Water sources placed at the edge of a map will block the flow of water above themselves out of the map.

Restrictions

Water sources only produce pure water during temperate weather. During times of  drought water sources dry up and cease producing flowing water.

Strength

Water sources have a strength up to (8.0). They can be set into the negatives by mapmakers to absorb water instead of generating it. Strength is a direct measurement of the cubic meters of water generated per second.
