The simplest way to achieve controlled flooding is tunneling right up to a riverbed and placing a [[floodgate]] to stop the flow when the water is initially released. Then, pull the lever to let the water enter the chamber under your careful eye. In order to do this safely, it is recommended that you channel into the riverbed from above instead of puncturing it from the tunnel, and then pull the lever that activates the floodgate. Having a [[pressure plate]] somewhere in the room assures a controlled shutoff. | The simplest way to achieve controlled flooding is tunneling right up to a riverbed and placing a [[floodgate]] to stop the flow when the water is initially released.

When the water in question is one Z-level below the desired level (for more than one level, see [[Screw pump#Pump stack|pump stack]]), particularly in the case of an [[aquifer]], it can be very easy just to set up a dwarf-powered [[screw pump]] near a channel to flood rooms when necessary. | When the water in question is one Z-level below the desired level (for more than one level, see [[Screw pump#Pump stack|pump stack]]), particularly in the case of an [[aquifer]], it can be very easy just to set up a dwarf-powered [[screw pump]] near a channel to flood rooms when necessary. | ||

Pressure flooding refers to using [[pressure]] mechanics to push water from a source, through a channel, and up into an area. Unless the destination room is above the source's pressure output level (usually the level of the source; see [[Pressure#Water_in_a_U-Bend|these examples]] for more information), no pumps are necessary. In addition to the possibility of moving the water through a U-bend instead of a straight channel, pressure flooding can deliver more water more quickly than using a standard flow. | Pressure flooding refers to using [[pressure]] mechanics to push water from a source, through a channel, and up into an area.
