So i havent worked so much with water as i would want to, but guess my suprise when i pull the lever of my home made waterfall and i see the actual river slowly draining, from the edge of my screen towards the intake. This was a river. At the edge of the screen it fell too level 1, then it kind of sloped slowly uppwards untill it got back to 7. My dwarves could actualy build ramps on oposit sides and walk between the diffrent sides...

Didn't realise the game could do that. I was sure the drain refilled itself from each tile that was marked river.

Nope, rivers only regenerate from the edge of the map. Only one edge, actually.

[Slappy Moose]

Which is fantastic because it makes draining a lake to create a dam somewhat possible.

[Idiom]

Yea, it only refills from the upstream side.

Now if only they would sweep away trash under a certain weight...

Actually, they can, but because of the way Toady's fluid system works, it will only push things if the river isn't "full."

...which it usually is, unfortunately.

Unless there's something draining the tiles (like the runoff at the end of the map), they should be mostly 7/7.

I actually didn't know water could sweep away items.  But that would be useful as a trash disposal, yeah.  we need a way to get rid of all those rotten clothes. :\

[Styrre]

Will water sweep things off the map? If so, that would be a new exciting way of garbage disposal.

if you do the draining "right" and actualy have to do refills of the place you dumpt stuff they should be pushed around a bit.
