If I embark in a zone without any form of water (river or murky pools), how am I supposed to get it? Right now I'm thinking about two possible ways.

1) From caverns, if they happen to have it or
2) Channeling the surface, thus making artificial pools that fill when it rains.

Is there any other way? Is the water from the caverns clean?

I think the only way is the water in the caverns. As I recall, only murky pool tiles collect rainwater - channelled holes do not.

If you happen to be on a glacier, you can use magma to melt the surface ice and get water that way. Another option is to embark on a site where there's an aquifer, they hold an infinite amount of water, just like brooks, rivers, lakes... If neither is possible, and there are no murky pools available, then your only option is to dig down to the caverns. They (mostly) have water in them. Your idea to dig channels to fill up won't work, only tiles called "murky pool" will fill up when it's raining.

Ok, thank you guys
