So I was playing this 2x2 on a glacier for a couple of years before I realized a pretty significant problem:

The underground didn't have any connected sources of water.  My water source was just an isolated underground lake.  I was going to eventually run dry.  Then: no more farming.  No more healthcare.  No well, no obsidian trap, no ice trap.  I'd have to rely on trading for all my booze.

And just when I was digging into the blue stuff, my last legendary went fey, wanting shells.  I'd amassed a collection of FBs, but the miner wasn't satisfied with the steam monster's shell, and there clearly weren't any lobsters or mussels around.  Oh well.  Time to train up another miner.  So I went digging into the loam that was just under the ice.

And lo and behold, there was an untouched aquifer!  Hallelujah!  Guess I'll be training that miner up on a plumbing system....

I was gonna ask if you were braindamaged to be thankful for an Aquifer.  I hate those things... cause they cover about 80% of any landmass, and almost always settled around the edges of Mountains I wanna MINE!

But no, in your situation I'd have had a similar response.  Halleluleah and pass the Farkin ammunition!  We're goin to war.

Not immediatly, but it requires fruit which requires water.

Aquifers can be very useful. Once you've breached them, they don't really get in the way. They're by far the largest infinite source of water.
