I remember building my first outdoor cistern. I placed a pond zone over it and was very disappointed in learning that the rain didn't fill it up. :(

That would be very cool if a [pond zone] was able to trigger rain spawning water tiles.

Is it possible to mod a way to construct murky tiles similarly to building a dirt road? If so then this fix may not be so hard guys.

It is impossible to mod a way to do anything with tiles at all.

It is not possible to make something similar to a floor. It is not possible to mod anything involving tiles at all. You cannot really add behavior to anything. You can make workshops and furnaces. That's it as far as buildable stuff.

Do you know what the limits of map editing are though? surface tiles should have some flags so that the game knows whether they're river squares and the like?

Yeah, with DFHack you can probably murkify things.
