The first drawing from my recent drunken NSFW Picarto stream. It's also a moment from my anthro/RESF dreamscape. During the recent war a lot of infrastructure got busted, and Crown and local government ponies have been working hard to repair the damage that was done.

One part that was particularly badly hit were the numerous public water systems and water treatment facilities. However the royal and local coffers have been greatly diminished by the war and the ongoing reconstruction. So the Royal Court has been confronted with the unenviable task of needing to raise taxes to pay for these repairs throughout the realm. Especially with the prime portal to the Realm of Shadows now shut, for good everypony hopes, its not like the Royal Sisters can demand restitution from them.

Now Celestia has learned over the centuries how to sell things like taxes to her little ponies. You need to make them understand that they will benefit from the tax. You need to actually deliver on that promise, and you need to present in a way that they find pleasant, or at least not terribly unpleasant. Often this is done in the form of an advertising campaign to explain to the plan will benefit them, and if you can make that advertising fun and appealing then all the better.

So the Royal Sisters have launched the Everpony Needs Clean Water promotion campaign. This has been series of TV commercials, video ads, magazine and newspaper ads, along with posters, billboards, and banner ads on public transit.

These ads are meant to show the various ways clean water benefit everypony and why they should support this program and the tax associated with it. Not just for drinking, but also recreation, agriculture, industry, and environmental preservation and restoration.

So the Royal Sisters have volunteered to help promote it the Crown has contracted other ponies of the realm to assist in this project. I know Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Twilight, Big Macintosh, and Sandbar have been recruited so far. This piece is the first one for the Royal Sisters and has been released in time for the summer season in Equestria. The ad has created a lot interest in the general public.
