I've had aspirations towards an Underground Water Park, if it weren't for my poor FPS.

The idea is as such: embark with a river. In some big open caverns wall off a significant portion from outside creeps and monstrosities. Build water troughs. Have said water troughs pour onto other water troughs descending through the cavern, being pumped back up at the end via a stack to the surface and into a channel that leads to the river again. Build a lever and a burrow at the top of the trough path. Designate dwarves to pull lever, which opens the floodgates to permit the flow of water that sweeps them down the path of the troughs to land on a pad of very wet dogs over grates that drain to the pump stack that sends water back up to the surface of the embark to keep the caverns from flooding.

Dwarves get happy thoughts from all the generated mist and therefore are having tons of fun flying down their dwarfy water-slide, while learning to swim and, in case the water park doesn't pass safety regulations, eliminates them from the troublesome burden of handing out mandates!
