[wallish]

I started a fortress next to the ocean, expecting my dwarves to, at the least, be able to drink from ponds until I got the brewing industry set up.  Also, i did a little test of digging down to (what I think) was an aquafier and making an underground pond.  However, the dwarves would not drink from any areas, with or without water zones set up.  As spring of the second year came rolling around they started to drop like flies (I spent too much time on housing... my fault...).

Currently all water on an ocean map is considered salty.  Even rivers, this is a very old known bug.

There are ways around it though: pump it into a constructed pool and it'll be clean.

That is both walls and floors must be 'b'uilt, if any part or your reservoir touches natural rock/soil, the water becomes salty again.

In my experience I only needed walls...

I'm pretty sure I've got it working without any constructed walls or floor... Actually I'm not sure about walls, but (constructed) floor shouldn't needed.
