I guess it is time to me make suggestion before I totally forget.

First, type of waters. In additional to already ones I like to see alkaline water in style of Natron lake and acidic water in style of volcanic lakes. Difference? Alkaline water can be found in dry areas due to evaporation. Swim there, you will melt and there will be lots of fun. Acidic water could in areas with high volcanic activity. At least most of body is still there if you swim. It is just burned, badly.

As for volcanos, how about some volcanos are those volcanic lakes? Instead of mountain thingy, they form deep lake. Mineral rich lake, mineral rich lake filled with acid water! Also their size could be not too hard to fit into few embark squares. Perhaps there also could be lakes filled with pure magma too! Magma lakes are cool.

Third and last thing. Burning speed for materials. What it does? Well, you know how explosion is actually just very fast burning? Yep, you guessed it. Also material with high burning speed is destroyed fast, one with slow takes some time. Technically I see those kind of knockout-dust-things. Except they also burns and can break things apart by blastwave. Things like walls.

So, thoughts?..

Well, unfortunatly for the water, we'll first need to see a fluid-rewrite.
Right now, water and lava are the only possible fluids. (Unlike contaminants, which can be blood, vomit, pus, sap, juice, mud, etc.)

you should include hot springs in that list, it could be an improver for the dwarves happiness, it also could be a source for water in cold environments

Considering water gets alkaline/acidic through contaminants, that would (probably) already be possible.
