My first time when i try water trap, it was some think like this

wwwwwwwwwwwwww--wwwww
--x------x------wwwww
,,.,.,.,.,.,,..,ooooo
,.,.,,,.,.,.,,.,ooooo
----------------wwwww

w is water and o is britge
idea is = when enemy is between floodgates i just open them for second and close them and raise britge. ther was nhothing to stop water going outside but i just dont undrestand power of water when i do this.
So i got food probles (25 dead and 3 drown in river when they broke britge)
and i think that before abandoned i will test my trap so i open watergates and forgot raise britge. ^^ I look in fet seconds my fort was full of water. I close floodgates but it dont help any think then i look outside and waht i see water is coming outside, it go over my stockpiles. Only frozen river stop flood for fet seconds but then water find my britges and what has happen?
Whole map is full of water fortres forest every wher. But next time i will drown whole world and dwarfs will rule again muhahahha   :D

When you have a floodgate, water will keep coming out until it meets a wall, a door or a channel.

If you want to do this, put a 'safety' channel at the entrance, so the water will stop spreading.

If the water reaches the cave river, it turns into a Permaflood

Well, all my plan is a magma moat just before my gate.
