I'm wanting to channel water for traps/a well

How exactly would i go about doing this?

Also, What about water turning murky and unusable

I'm not quite sure what you mean here...Could you please clarify?

I believe he means creating aquaducts.

Rules of thumb:

1) water pressurizes.  Pressurized water flows faster/more violently than unpressurized water. Consult the wiki concerning pressure to see how this can help you move water reliably without it all evaporating.

2) fluid flow calculations kills fps. Only direct liquid if you really really need to.

3) stagnant water and salty water can be purified with a screw pump.

Though you need to put them in a constructed resivoir, if I remember correctly.

Turns out I didn't remember correctly.

A myth. The truth is that tiles are marked as salty or murky when they get salty or stagnant water in them. A tile that has had tainted water in it will taint any water that enters it, and tainted water will taint all other water that touches it. The pump simply needs to pump into somewhere that has never been dampened before and it should be fine.

Oh. That makes far more sense, thanks.
