About the service area in the picture. You can use a door at the impassible part of the screw pump instead of using two doors. The dwarves can dig and move diagonally. --Altaree 15:38, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

it can be ... operated by ... using gear assemblies connected to water wheels and/or windmills.

A gear assembly is not necessary. It is possible to build a water wheel, connected to a horizontal axle, connected to a screw pump. The screw pump will function as intended.

Pump Speed

How much water do screw pumps move? Is it 1/7 of water per game frame? If you wanted to build a 1x1 waterfall that operated constantly without sourcing any new water, how many pump stacks would you need?

A lot. I don't know. Less than one, so to speak ;) In any case, channel the water through a diagonal after the pump --92.202.29.45 17:16, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
