 Congratulations to your 4&times;2 hole through the aquifer. Be very careful not to mine the first non-aquifer layer any wider than your secured staircase dimensions. The aquifer above this level would flood it. Leave at least one layer of stone between your aquifer and the layer where you want some spacy rooms.

 Since the below steps will involve a tremendous amount of job cancellations that require pausing and un-suspending construction, designate a meeting zone directly above the dig site to ensure a steady and close supply of free dwarves to respond each time.  Now is also a good time to enable Pump Operating (under Engineering) on as many dwarves as possible to ensure steady water pumping.

 As you will be constructing walls in an aquifer layer, the construction will get suspended very often. Yet every time your construction workers get the chance to touch the wall, its construction will proceed a little bit and will be done eventually. Just be patient and keep unsuspending the work. Constructing these walls out of blocks rather than usual logs or stones speeds it all up considerably.
-Keep in mind, that dwarves cannot construct a wall if they only can access it diagonally. Hence you will need to build the hardly accessible walls first. Best you follow this tutorial exactly.
+Keep an eye on your pump operator for any status arrows--it's best to temporarily stop pumping and switch operators when none of your dwarves are down in the trench. It's also a good idea to order and build a couple [[bed]]s so foolish dwarves don't decide to nap in the trench.

 QuantumMenace has developed a very easy method to dig through an [[aquifer]] of unknown depth commonly known as the '''double-slit method'''. Its name derives from two channeled-out slits at the sides of a 2&times;2 area.
