− | Pressure flooding refers to using [[pressure]] mechanics to push water from a source, through a channel, and up into an area. Unless the destination room is above the source's pressure output level (usually the level of the source; see [[Pressure#Water_in_a_U-Bend|these examples]] for more information), no pumps are necessary. | + | Pressure flooding refers to using [[pressure]] mechanics to push water from a source, through a channel, and up into an area. Unless the destination room is above the source's pressure output level (usually the level of the source; see [[Pressure#Water_in_a_U-Bend|these examples]] for more information), no pumps are necessary. Other than moving the water through a U-bend instead of a straight channel, it functions almost identically to the river/floodgate method. |

− | + | Assuming that you have some surviving miners, the easiest way to clean up a flood is to create a drain into a cavern layer below. This is accomplished by digging an up/down stairway parallel to the flooded areas that terminates somewhere in a cavern, then joining the flooded chambers at their lowest point. | |
