Thank you, Toady!  I'll give it a try as soon as I have any free time this evening!

Is the water source zone bug fixed too?

[Garath]

it says it is

And the creeping saltwater bug, also.   

It does look as if you have to make a fresh embark, if your brook has already completely stagnated.  No fresh water left to clear it.

Can't you harvest water from the rain?

[slothen]

get it from the caverns

Couldn't you just pump it? Pumping water removes the stagnation. If you pumped that water back into your "stagnant" brook, that would be the new freshwater to dispel the old water right?

I don't know.  That is a good thought, however the water source tiles of a brook are on the edge of the map and can't be channelled into to open the surface.

It worked!  I cut a 5x5 reservoir right next to the brook and pumped some stagnant water into it, using a pump located as close to the edge as possible.  When the reservoir, which had become clean water, overran into the source of the brook, the brook became clean water.   

It starts creeping back, though, if you don't get it all out.  You probably need to put water-cleaning stations at intervals along the brook to get it all.

Agreed the water fixes are excellent news

This makes me happy.  I've been incorporating workarounds for stagnant water into my basic learning of the game due to the version with which I started, but it makes no sense and not in an entertaining way.
