The blue arrow means a dwarf is thirsty. Usually they'll just go get a drink, and it's no big deal.

If they're just standing in place, it could mean they're trapped (walled themselves in, dug a channel they're on the wrong side of, etc.) and will die of thirst if you don't provide them a way out.

one more... or ten i dont know this game keps throwing me curver balls... but i have dug a channel from the near by river and have gotten it to the hole in the groun i hope to pump it into. inside there is a nice 6by6 area that is supposed to be my "farm". now i get the flood gates slightly inside with a channel leading up to it and i have it "linked" to a lever. i have a door leading into the room locked tight so no one will enter and get killed. and i activate the level and....nothing ...the flood gates just sit there then turn into normall tiles. NOTHING HAPPENS
