I don't think it can be controlled, period.

I think that they're affected by drainage levels, but so are other things.

IRL, screw pumps were originally invented to deal with groundwater seepage into mine pits and moving water off of desired flood-lands or swamps.  but deep mines as they now exist that hit major water (underground rivers or water filled caves) are pretty much SOL.  The work required to repair the break and recover the mine is very cost-prohibitive.  Not to different from DF.

As for DF aquifers, I'd like to see them as they currently exist toned down more towards groundwater seepage levels, depending on soil type/drainage levels, paired with the return of water-based underground features, like 10-z deep underground lakes and 3 dimensional weaving underground rivers.

OP you need to dwarf the hell up. A real dwarf wouldn't whine 'bout aquifers he would invent a way to destroy all of them!!!
