The idea is so straightforward that I PURGE!!!

Simply put, it should be possible to fill them with watter. A barrel would be able to hold 7 units of watter. I am sick of my dwarves dying of dehydration.

[EmperorJon]

Then make barrels of booze...? Still, good idea.

[kylefiredemon]

What about having the ability to crack open my booze barrels to make a booze deathtrap.

[NW_Kohaku]

This is both a common suggestion that has been on the board for years, and it was on the old devpage, and is presumably still a part of Toady's plans. 

Bloat360, OTHER WATER SOURCES, (Future): There should be various additional ways to obtain water. Rain, filling barrels from streams, simple desalination, etc.

[Reelyanoob]

letting the barrel hold 7/7 water might be a little exploitable. e.g. you dump 100 barrels of 7/7 water in a quantum stockpile, and have 700 units of water in that square, while dwarves are still able to pass through the square normally. There's no way a pile of barrels in a passable square should hold more water than filling the entire 1x1x1 space with water.

I do like the general idea of water barrels, but they should hold no more than 4 water i think. Maybe a solution would be that you have to 'b'uild the water barrel (thus taking up a full square), and then fill or empty it using buckets, thus making it impossible to quantum-stockpile.

It'd be nice if the liquids in the game we're more moddable, e.g. combine liquid definitions for water and magma into the raws, then Toady (or modders) could easily add liquids such as underground oil, even rivers of beer, ale, or chocolate!

We could probably do Magma rivers right now by hacking tiles, I'm not sure i get the point, if there is one other than shouting "Magma!"

7 units of water would mean that they would have to have the same volume as a square in game. They should hold the same amount as booze barrels do.

More magma.

[FallingWhale]

Watter?

[Setharnas]

Obsidian.

[Neowulf]

Good addition when mugs get a use, build a barrel as a piece of furniture, set to to what type of liquid to hold, dwarves will take from if it's closer and refill when needed.

[Elone]

Pretty much perfect.

[scout890]

what would happen if volcanoes, magma pipes and the magma sea was filled with water and rivers, the underground, lakes and oceans were filled with magma/lava

[Elone]

During winters, magma would turn into obsidian and melt back in the spring. Volcanoes would be much more bearable. You could make a powerful water pressure cannon that shoots far higher than about 5 tiles in Z.
And last but not the least.
You forgot the rain. Why?
