River. River what are you doing? River. Stahp.

Why is this happening?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I certainly hope this isn't from me digging a channel into the side and having it drain out via fortifications carved into the edge of the map...

EDIT: Actually... I think it is, sorta. It looks like the river was flowing in the opposite as I had thought and I may have diverted it too much...

yeah, thats what you did, I did the same thing when I first tried it.
Just wait until winter, if the river freezes, you can go down and fix it.

As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

And this is why any sort of project involving water should involve a shutoff-switch, doubly-so if it involves and infinite source.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!
