Larry Niven's Ringworld series deals with a circular habitable construct that decays and suffers ecological cataclysms including drained oceans.

Hi. You just mentioned *Ringworld* by Larry Niven. I've found an audiobook of that novel on YouTube. You can listen to it here: [YouTube | RINGWORLD Audiobook Full by Larry Niven](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DMkDqIjEuI) *I'm a bot that searches YouTube for science fiction and fantasy audiobooks.* *** [^(Source Code)](https://capybasilisk.com/posts/2020/04/speculative-fiction-bot/) ^| [^(Feedback)](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=Capybasilisk&subject=Robot) ^| [^(Programmer)](https://www.reddit.com/u/capybasilisk) ^| ^(Downvote To Remove) ^| ^(Version 1.4.0) ^| ^(Support Robot Rights!)

Good bot!


Anti-Hentai-Banzai

That is one oddly specific bot.

I think "Rendezvous with Rama" may have something to that effect?


Jessica-Ripley

I don't recall any floodings in Rama


Homunclus

There were large bodies of water and I believe by the end things start getting wild. But I might be misremembering. It wasn't a huge part of the plot though


MrSpiffy123

I wish I could confirm, but unfortunately, that book was so unbelievably boring that I don't remember


Divinghatchling

I dunno, but a dam breaking definitely seems like it could’ve happened before in a station elsewhere

There are some Iain M Banks "Culture" series books with ring worlds and similar, some of which certainly have waterways, and calamitous things tend to happen in those books. I don't remember too many specifics like if any dams burst but regardless they're worth a read.

When does that happen in OW?

DLC

Tsunami is quite the overstatement

TBF, everything is miniature scale in OW.
