Flood Fighter is a fun educational game that places you in the shoes of a newly hired water management engineer, who must create a flood management system for multiple locations. After reviewing each location's data, you will need to determine the best type of levees to place along the river and hire a team with a budget. Your flood management system will then be put to the test through a weather event.
