Can creatures be moved by water flows?  If so, how far do they move and how much pressure would I need?

[woose1]

Not really....

Unless you mean AWAY FROM THE WATER OMGBLRBLBLBRBL then no.
They do run away, and some swim, but a drowning dwarf in a river doesn't move.

I don't have much experience with this, but if there is a flow between 4-6/7, I do believe it'll move creatures.  The key is to keep this flow without going to 7/7.

It definitely affects cats.

(I have an underground river that's dammed.  For whatever reason, the dry riverbed that's left has a *lot* of vermin, and so attracts a lot of cats.  When I need water or power, I open the dam, which floods the riverbed.  Which is fine, except the riverbed ends at a bottomless pit.  Undamming the river is usually followed by one to three "Wiggums McFPSKiller (Cat) has fallen into a deep chasm.")

Thats a awsome cat killer machine.

EDIT: Oh yah, forgot. I guess that means rivers move people. my only experiance with that was when one of my dwarves "Dodged" into a channel that used to run alongside my barracks; he didnt move at all. I guess normal rivers do though.

The channel was probably up to 7/7. It seems to only register flow when it changes from, say 5/7 to 6/7.

At least read what you're responding to -.-
He's absolutely right.
