Dwarves get an unhappy [[thought]] if they have to drink stagnant water, and a [[doctor]] cleaning a [[wound]] with stagnant water will likely cause an [[Health care#Infection|infection]]. |

Moving water only via flow or with gravity won't clean it; pumping is required. |
Note that the game will only ''describe'' stagnant water as stagnant if it's in a [[bucket]] or [[flask]]/[[waterskin]]; looking at standing or flowing water with {{K|k}} won't give any indication. | Note that the game will only ''describe'' stagnant water as stagnant if it's in a [[bucket]] or [[flask]]/[[waterskin]]; looking at standing or flowing water with {{K|k}} won't give any indication. |
