Dig to the edge of the map, smooth it and then carve a fortification.  They allow fluid to flow and the edge will then function as a chasm.

Maybe!

It can also instead just flood your fortress.

Its very random. But that makes it interesting.  :D

Not quite random, I have only had the problem of water flowing in from the edges through fortifications on maps with large natural bodies of water (i.e. oceans or lakes).  If you have not embarked on a coastline then you should not have any issues.  Then again I have only been doing this for a short time and maybe my body of data is too small to have experienced the randomness you speak of?
