I'm not completely sure if this hasn't already been found, but I've looked and have seen no other notice of it yet.

When channeling out a ditch of aquifer water near the ocean and then running another source of water (from the ocean or pumped out of the aquifer) over that, the water still falls into the ditch even though it has 7/7 water already in it, doing precisely nothing to the tile below. This results in a sort of anti-water barrier that will allow you to shallow out the entire map's ocean water (but not remove it completely) by channeling the aquifer ditch into it. The short version: A pit of aquifer (salt?) water is an infinite drain or 'wormhole' for other water sources.

After discovering this, I had hollowed out a mountain then turned the walls into open channels filled with water without flooding my fort at all, proceeding to fight off the income of ocean water by digging the channel out into the ocean. A miner fell asleep right out there on the ocean floor while a hunter of mine started ambushing anchovies with his axe or "mining for fish" if you will.

This has been one of the better bugs to find, I'd say.

Yes, aquifers can source or sink infinite water.  Its like a flow that reaches all map edges, through porous rock.
