Idea contributed by Jason Overland and greatly expanded upon by Patrick Coston
	Quicky Description: Raising or lowering the sea-level in the terrain editor will allow you to plant trees in your water-falls.
	 
	Although that will work, there's more to it than that ...
	Just so you know what the heck I'm talking about, you need to understand what I mean by Shallow Water, Deep Water, Water Falls, Ponds and Tree-able.
	
		- Shallow Water - water created with the place-water tool or place-stream tool in the terrain editor, or the landscape tool in the city-editor.
    
		- Deep Water - water created with the raise or lower sea-level buttons on the tool bar in the terrain editor.
   
		- Water Fall - shallow water created on a hill
 
		- Pond - shallow water created on flat ground
 
		- Tree-able - water fall or pond able to plant trees on
 
	 
	 
	Which versions can have trees planted in water?
	
		- Mac version 1.0 - unknown
 
		- Mac version 1.1 - unknown
 
		- DOS version 1.0 - trees in waterfalls and ponds
 
		- DOS version 1.1 - unknown
 
		- Windows version 1.0 - unknown
 
		- Windows version 1.1 - unknown
 
		- Windows version 1.2 - trees in ponds only
 
		- Windows 95 version 1.0 - trees in ponds only
 
		- SCURK for Mac version 1.0 - unknown
 
		- SCURK for DOS version 1.0 - trees in waterfalls and ponds
 
		- SCURK for Windows version 1.0 - no trees allowed in waterfalls or ponds
 
	 
	Please help us figure out the unknowns above.
	 
	The following is true:
	
		- Raising or lowering sea-level in the terrain editor sets all shallow water to be tree-able.
 
		- Any shallow water created after you raise or lower sea-level is not tree-able.
 
		- Once you press DONE to leave the terrain editor and enter the city-editor, you can still plant trees in any shallow water that is tree-able.
 
		- Any new shallow water you create while in the city editor is not tree-able.
 
		- You will not be able to plat trees in deep water regardless of whether you are in the terrain-editor or city-editor.
 
	 
	Notice the trees growing right out of the pond and water-falls.
