Water can travel through grates, even through a pump, but dwarves cannot.

For maximum safety, place floor grates over both channeled areas, and add doors to ensure water cannot escape.

Excavate the area directly above the breach: You need a channel over the breached area you want to reclaim, and another channel over the underground river.

This won't remove any water that has pooled into lower areas, but you can use pumps to pull this water out into a wider area where it can evaporate. If you seal off the breach, eventually all the water will settle and evaporate from the top. Water at 1/7 depth will eventually disappear on its own.

Pump it back into a source of water (I can't guarantee this worksįor an underground river it will not work for a light aquifer.

Doors are suggested simply because they're lighter than raw stone and usually plentiful. Make two layers, just in case something goes wrong.

If you have narrow corridors, place doors in them to block the water and forbid them. It looks like the water is slowly expanding, so you should be able to still add doors to 1-2 depth areas. You should be able to place constructions up to a depth of 3 units. Forbidden doors are locked and can't be opened, so they'll act as a seal. Forbid any doors that are in its path - doors are waterproof until they're opened. The first step is to seal off the water as much as you can. they produce an infinite amount of unpressurized water. I'm assuming that they function like an overground river or an aquifer, i.e. Some of my knowledge is also out of date I've never run into an underground river before. This requires a less space but the general idea is the same.ĭisclaimer: Much of this is theoretical, as I've never had to actually deal with a massive flooding event. You need to plan ahead a bit so no dwarf gets injured from falling, gets stuck in the hole or has the plug fall on their head.Įdit 2: per qazmlpok's comment it is probably enough to dig out only the directly adjacent blocks to your plug (in all 6 cardinal direction).

For the two higher levels you first mine them out and the channel into the ground to free the plug on all sides. The central block needs to be directly above the river and will fall (at least) two levels when you set it loose. So you will dig out a 3x3x3 segment of rock minus the central cube which will form your actual plug.

To make the plug fall into the river you need to dig out every block around it in all three dimensions. For a plug a 1x1x1 block is enough, for aquifier piercing you need something bigger. The actual plug will be a chunck of rock in its original state.

You can either spread it out over a large enough area that it will eventually evaporate (note that this will leave soil where underground plants can grow) or you can drain it into some hole where it doesn't disturb you.Įdit: More details on the plug. If this is successful you only have a finite amount of water left in your fortress. This works because on the top level of the underground river, you can safely access the water from above. You dig around a plug that consists of several fields of solid rock and then let these drop from above into the channel north of the river. You are doing a slightly simplified version of what is described in the wiki article "Aquifer", section "Exploiting Cave-Ins". As this is underground you should be able to put a plug close to where the initial breach of the underground river happened.
