Surface Rivers
Rivers are found on the surface of world maps. They vary in width and depth, some being more wide and some being more deep than others. They often flow through deep canyons or just across the flat surface of a level. On levels with cliffs, waterfalls may be found. Brooks are more shallow than rivers and can be crossed by creatures and dwarves without a bridge.
Underground Rivers
An underground river is, obviously, a river found underground. They are hard to find in the current version of Dwarf Fortress, particularly because you are not guaranteed to have one in your map.
If you are lucky enough to find a cave river, you can use it as the basis of an underground forest operation.
Other Important Facts
- Rivers presumably contain an unlimited amount of water and cannot be drained.
- Rivers often contain an abundance of fish.
- See water.
