I'm pretty sure the game 'spawns' a river full of water, rather than letting it flow.

Yeah it would be MURDER on the FPS if the game actually recorded the movement of every bit of water from the springs in the highlands down to the salty oceans in the lowlands.
ARMOK! My little laptop shudders at the thought.

Your laptop thinks? Wow, I so envy you. I wish I could play DF on skynet.

But ya, it would be really crazy if it kept track of water flows... Although... Hmm.. It wouldn't be to complex to implement a system. Not knowing entirely how worldgen works, I think you could just run an algorithm used for genning the rivers/lakes in there to find out what effect a fort has on the world as a whole. It could be packed into the abandon fortress, so it would only be run when the fort is abandoned.

Technically you you only want to dam the inlet and keep the outlet open so the water drains....
