Welcome to Waterdeeps!
I decided to try my hand at creating and underwater fortress, so with some careful selection I managed to find a freshwater lake which freezes in the winter (just, and briefly, but it does freeze).
With the plan of drafting everyone into masonry each winter I plan to expand little by little into the lake until we have a proper underwater fortress, although it may take serveral game-years.
First, set up a farm to feed ourselves, and then after that we can focus on constructing a temple in the lake.
We shall call it WaterDeeps

You can download the compressed map file:
Waterdeep the Ancient Lake-Temple-1051-4 (1051-Q1).fdf-map
but you will need the .NET version of
SL's DF Map Compressor
to convert to the .PNG image format.

Totally sweet. It's too bad the lake is only 2 z-levels deep, or you could make some totally massive structures.

You're missing the point of water:
If he digs down FOR the lake, he can expand it to the lowest level possible!
He could fill the entire damn MAP with water, as ill-advised that may be.

very good. question, will you stick with green glass or eventually convert over to clear?

Clear glass might be used in some areas, but unless I can import Rock Crystals, crystal glass won't be.
And Flok has the right idea, I intend to expand the lake-bed where needed so allow for further underwater "expansion" - I believe the lake already gets filled up from the South and East map edges, but I haven't confirmed that yet.

Wonderful! I don't get why you don't have more comments. You should. I have never tried to build something underwater, but the glass idea is cool! also, I have a question. How do you free up bags for glassmaking? Mine are always full of seeds and the like. Anyway, Great temple!

does the glass actually require reinforcement in-game? or is that just a bit of realism? and i wonder what kind of crops you can grow underwater... or if you can have an aquarium with turtles or larger water fauna and such. keep us updated.
