This article is about an older version of DF.

Flooding refers to filling a chamber with a liquid, traditionally water, for a variety of reasons. This is achieved through numerous methods, with varying degrees of fun. For more information as to why on <insert world name here> any dwarf would want to do this, see irrigation, trap design. and unfortunate accident.

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.

When the water in question is one Z-level below the desired level (for more than one level, see [[Template:L|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.
