Catchment Detox is an online game where players have to figure out how to be successful in managing a river catchment and creating a sustainable and thriving economy. Players need to decide which activities need to be undertaken – whether to plant crops, log forests, build factories or set up national parks. Users need to consider environmental problems and try to avoid them to provide food and wealth for the population.

The game is a huge challenge for players. After the game, they can compare their results using internet scoreboard.
