Water can be contaminated with extracts or vampire blood and such, right?
 
 
 
Under what circumstances will the water be contaminated?
 
* the water is taken from a tile with the contaminant on the floor?
 
* the water is taken a tile with a contaminant on an adjacent wall?
 
* the water is taken from a tile with no contaminants on any adjacent walls or floors, but contaminants on the floor of a lower tile in the reservoir?
 
 
 
Will the water be described any differently? I.e., "Water laced with forgotten beast extract", or will it still be described as just "Water"?
 
 
 
If contaminated water dries on an object, will the object still be contaminated? For example, if a roast gets a coating of contaminated water on it, will it be safe to eat after the water dries?
 
 
 
If a dwarf drinks from a waterskin coated in contaminated water, will they ingest the contaminated water?
 
 
 
If a dwarf drinks while their mouth is covered with a coating of contaminated water, or eats while their hands are coated with a covering of contaminated water, will they ingest the contaminated water?
 
 
 
What happens if contaminated water gets on a dwarf?  Last time my dwarves walked through their contaminated [[User:Uristocrat/Dwarven_Bathtub|dwarven bathtub]], they got water on their mouth.  Is this enough to infect them?  It appears not, since most of my dwarves are fine and most of them walked through the contaminated bathtub.  Maybe they only get sick if they walk through without shoes on.

Seems it made change from "clean water destroys stagnant water" to opposite way around.
 
 
 
Testing in 47.05 by dropping water into partially-emptied murky ponds or having stagnant ponds flow into clear water on level diagonally below resulted in both cases the entire water collection becoming clean. Can anyone find evidence in support of 35.191.1.236's revision?

== Floor constructed from rock salt freezes water at least 4/7 underground (need moar experiments, possibly infinite water source) {{Verify}} ==
 
 
 
Added [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Water&diff=257215&oldid=256722 here], the editor sadly didn't leave a name.
 
 
 
I expect this is tied to unretiring making stockpile tiles count as above ground, thus unexpectedly freezing water in colder climate.
 
 
 
But would like a save - experimentally I fail to verify in 47.05.

== Freezing machine componenets ==
 
The entry says, "Below this point, many machine components, including screw pumps, windmills, and minecart rollers will not work, instead displaying "Frozen here". In colder environments, these machines must either be kept indoors or heated with nearby fire or magma." Isn't this only true of machine components built on ice? I mean, my river is frozen and my windmills are working just fine despite probe saying that the temperature is 9995 U.
