Murky pools are small pools of water one Z-Level deep on the surface of the map. Dwarves with the fishing job active will attempt to fish in them. In some climates during winter, they will refill themselves fully about the time that snow melts.

Removing

A murky pool is difficult to remove. Once drained, murky pools cannot be dug out or into. Channel designations cannot be placed on top of murky water tiles, and they cannot be dug up into from beneath.

There are two known ways to remove murky pools:

  1. Dig underneath the murky pool, then dig a channel around the edge so that the pool tiles are connected to nothing. The tiles will collapse in a pile of rubble, job done.
  2. Drain the pool and build floors or walls on the murky tiles. When removed, the murky pool tiles will be gone. (Leaving silty clay loam or some such).
