Murky pools are small pools of water the surface of the map. Dwarves with the fishing job active will attempt to fish in them. Turtles can typically be found near these pools as well. Murky pools can evaporate completely in summer in sufficiently hot climates, or can be drained manually, but in either case can be refilled by rainwater or melting snow or ice.

Drinking from a murky pool will give dwarves an unhappy thought. Dwarves will not normally drink from murky pools if they can at all help it; preferring alcohol, well water, or running water from a brook/stream/river over water from a murky pool.

Sometimes the only water visible on the map is in murky pools. In hot and scorching climates, its typically a good idea to quickly create a cistern to collect the water from murky pools before it all evaporates.
