I recall reading somewhere that smoothing aquifer walls stops them from dripping water, is that true or do I recall wrong?

You read right, to my knowledge.
The problem is smoothing them...

They aren't ALWAYS soil layers.

Though you're definitively going to have one or two before a rock-aquifer layer.

It is very, very difficult to smooth sand walls. Very. So very that the game will not allow it in the next million years.

I know it's unrealistic, but I can't help but imagine little bearded babies for dwarves. In my mind, they come out of the womb fully bearded. That's how the mother carries them around, too, she just drags them around by the beard or ties it to her belt. When the father's on duty, he just ties their beards together and the baby just kind of hangs there, swinging to and fro with Urist McDaddy's movements.

I haven't  been able to FIND an aquifier yet in my freezing sites (even when the site finder is set to "Aquifer == YES" and I get the "Hard to find rock here" message); best I've been able to do is tapping an underground pool to a well.
