Talk:Food and water production

Inaccurate info
I think the parts regarding Fallout 3 in this article need reworking. They are inaccurate and seem a little biased.

"In Fallout 3, despite 200 years having passed, no notable efforts to estabilish any sort of agriculture are present, apart from hydroponic farms on the Rivet City carrier."

That's not entirely true. Livestock herding is common, as many towns in the wasteland have Brahmin herds. Also, we should explain the reason there are no attempts at farming, namely that the rocky, barren, mostly radioactive Capital Wasteland isn't as hospitable to plants as, say, the Mojave.

"In Fallout 3, water availability is the underlying theme of the game, though portrayed in an inconsistent and counterfactual way (such as radiated water being impossible to treat, even though it's just a question of filtering it through uncontaminated sand)."

What is this talking about? Megaton has its own water purifier, and there are many bottles of Purified Water available. If this is referring to the fact that Project Purity needed a GECK, that's because using one was a significantly easier choice than trying to build a conventional purification plant big enough to purify the entire Potomac river.

 * Then feel free to rewrite it, providing examples of agriculture and water purification throughout the CW. The article highlights the fact that the Fallout 3 storyline is absurd: water purification is easy to do (all you need is a shovel) and Project Purity is practically pointless, as none of the communities have access to the Potomac (save for Rivet City, which has its own purifier and farms, allegedly) and it cannot purify the river upstream.
