im making a dwarf dip, yet my dwarves won't fill the pond past 2 buckets even though there are LOTS of full buckets of water laying around

how do i amke them fill it more?

since it won't fill my dwarf dip is evaporating and all the blood(20 pages) is now transferring to every dwarf and animal that enters my dining room

I've never really had to look into this, but do dwarves doing the fill pond job actually choose full buckets? Or do they intentionally choose empty ones and then fill and then empty them. If ALL your buckets really are full, that could be your problem.

It's possible that the dwarves are using the pond as the water source for the pond, so they go, get a bucket, fill it, then toss it straight back into the same channel. To fix this, make a water source zone somewhere else, then alter your (o)rders related to activity (z)ones so your dwarves will (d)rink and get water only from water sources and wells.

[Hans Lemurson]

The way pond-filling labors work is that for each pond zone that you have, one dwarf gets tasked to pick up a bucket, fill it with water, and dump it in the pond.  Only ONE dwarf will be filling a pond-zone at any given time, and once he's dumped the water, he then goes on break.  Moving large amounts of water this way can be very time-consuming.  To speed it up, designate more than one pond-zone for the place you want to fill.
