The diagram was butchered, but you probably can get the idea. If not, copy the butchered diagram and paste it somewhere that uses a fixed width font...

I'm reminded of a similar issue back from 0.28.181.40d - see http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=42571.0 [^]

With that forum post in mind, it seems like there is a feature to allow the ocean to absorb water like an aquifer can. If there is such a feature, maybe it is being incorrectly applied to artificial ponds, when it should be applied only when pumping into the ocean.

I noticed this too, in 0.31.23.

I tried to make a cistern to purify water from my tiny corner of haunted ocean, and made sure that I built walls around the level where the pump was—that being the level above the ocean, obviously—and when the pump filled up the lower z-level of the cistern, it just kept briefly putting water on top of it, which would then instantly disappear. Had to deconstruct the walls around the upper z-level to use it as a water source.

This sounds like 0003161.
