I'm only trying to set up a farmplot on underground stone. I've got a somewhat short path right to a brook, but they seem to leave the buckets near the water after I get the message.

Is the pond zone set right on the farm plot, or is your pond zone one square or more above the farm plot?

[JoeQuabla]

There is no farm plot.
Only the zone.

[nordo]

Uh, well I'll be more precise.  Channel a hole in the ceiling above your future farm plot and set the hole to be the pond.  Dwarfs will throw the water down the hole and onto the soil.

[Lord Darkstar]

As it currently stands, you have to create your activity zone that is marked as a pond one z-level above where you want the water dumped. The dwarves will then dump water into the pond area--- and the water will then fall down and muddy the floor on the z-level below.

It's all covered with illustrations on the Dwarf Fortress Wiki at this page: http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Irrigation
