Well... first of all sorry for my bad English.

I DEFINITELY think that Today should see that save!

I've spent a lot of time to build huge pumping system with tank 8 levels deep 13x31 squares a damn huge tank. (f2 key for quick access to tank's top level)

I'm pumping water to tank from brook by stack of pumps (5 pumps on each level) from 12 levels below the top of the tank.
Tank has drain channel closed with floodgates linked to the leveler (in case if a will need to run my system dry fast) and also overflow tube which leads to same drain channel behind floodgates. Drain channel on his exit have vertical bars (steel i seemed) and another floodgates which are opened by pressure plate if any water available near channel exit.

I've connected input channel for pumps to the brook but not simply dig into it's wall, I'd wait for winter while river was frozen and dug it's bottom with a channel and made my input channel 2 z-levels deep. so it's sucking all water from brook until tank is filled (well that was a plain).

I've started all that system first of all I've filled input channel after that run my pumps (600 power + 23 for power transport system so there are 12 levels of pumps). Tank begins to fill, first of all filled drain channel until water riches the first floodgates (controlled by leveler) and after that stopped. Well at this moment I was playing with control switches in my power room and didn't notice how water appeared in drain channel BEHIND floodgates which should definitely block it from appearing there. The water was level 7/7 throo all the channel between first group of floodgates and the second one. Also watter filled overflow-drain channel on one z-level above (it could not be there by any reason). After that fact second floodgates opened (reacting to pressure plate which detected presence of water near the exit from drain channel) and even more strange things begun. (from this point you could see my save, link below).

I'm not sure if it floods all my fortress or not but there's no such amounts of water there 100%!!!!
