It gets everywhere. How can we control it? I heard bridges worked, but it didn't appear to when I tried it, even when accounting for diagonal steps. What am I missing?

Floor Grates seem to stop the farmerdwarves from mudding down the fortress entirely. A farm setup like the one below has kept the rest of my fortress clean for a season.

Code:
W - unmined wall
= - farm plot
+ - doors (water inlet/outlet, farmer entance)
# - floor grate
7 - water source
1 - water drain
ó - levers connected to doors
. - clean(!!) ground

Remember that a channel must be built in the tile before the grate is installed. I guess mud can originate from a number of sources besides your own farming, but with enough grates, the fancier parts of the fortress should be safe.
