hydrostatic-pressure-management

In this chapter, Nadia leads an emergency operation to stop a catastrophic aquifer leak threatening the town of Lasswitz by triggering a controlled landslide to cap the water flow. Despite temporarily halting the flood, the hydrostatic pressure in the aquifer remains dangerously high, prompting plans to drill a runoff well as a pressure valve. The chapter also highlights the broader conflict where both sides sabotage critical infrastructure, using uncontrolled water releases as a weapon in the rebellion.
