-Kingubu posted this novel approach to [[Aquifer]] piercing over on the bay12 forums. This tutorial is based extensively on that video, adding only a few improvements that have since been made to the method.  Kingubu's method, which he loosely referred to as the no-cancellation-spam method but is here called the pump-stack method, is significantly faster than the famed [[Double-slit method]] but does require significantly more materials and labors since it involves building a double [[Screw_pump#Pump_stack|pump stack]].  In it's simplest form, the method draws heavily on the [[Water_wheel#Dwarven_Water_Reactor|Dwarven water reactor]] exploit, so it may not be for everyone.  However, it is entirely possible to accomplish the method without the exploit, but it is somewhat slower as you will need to build a [[Power|power system]] to run the pump stack.

-If your current pumped layer has another layer of aquifer below it, then the first thing you need to do is drill down into that aquifer layer and see if there is another aquifer layer below that.  Doing this is called drilling a pilot hole.  To do this, dig up/down stairs under the top right set of stairs in the pit.  This corresponds to the tile that is being actively pumped dry by the top of the two pumps.  Once again, you're looking for a damp stone cancellation once the stairs are dug.

	And that's it. The rest of the breach proceeds as normal. So, the only difference between the normal method and this one is that you're using 3 pumps as power-transfer units. So, if you've got lots of trees and don't want to bring any stone with you, all you need is 15 extra power and you can leave the stone at mountainhome.		And that's it.

		+	This is a more efficient layout for the top stack, but it requires a little more planning, and an extra step when deconstructing (unless you don't mind losing a log or four).
		+
		+	To do this version, get to the point where you're ready to dig out your top layer, but instead of a 10x6 chamber, make an 11x5 chamber (or 10x5 if you suspect you have less than 3 aquifer layers). Then follow the steps below.
