This article is about an older version of DF.

Murky pools are small pools of Template:L on the surface of the map. They can be filled with freshwater, saltwater or brackish water.

Murky pools act as a finite water source and a biome.

As a water source

A pool can be used as a water source and Template:L with the Template:L labour enabled will attempt to fish in them.

Murky pools can evaporate completely in Template:L in sufficiently hot Template:Ls, or can be Template:L, but in either case can be refilled by Template:Lwater or melting Template:L or Template:L.

Drinking from a murky pool will give dwarves an unhappy Template:L. 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 Template:L visible on the map is in murky pools. In hot and scorching climates, its typically a good idea to quickly create a Template:L to collect the water from murky pools before it all evaporates.

As a biome

The Template:L pool means the area in the pool (under water) and close by the pool.
