This video introduces the new construction project starting to the south of the fort. Windmills crowded around the entrance provide power to a series of pumps connected in an arc around a floating platform over the ocean. Water is pumped out from the middle while dwarves scurry to build walls before ocean water sprays in. A second video shows the completed drained ocean pool with a perimeter boundary protected against waves.

Wow. That's some dwarven engineering.

I know this is a month late, however: you would have had far far less cancellations if you'd build the wall 1 extra tile inside the pumps.. the water flows into the pumps pumping area as 4's and 5's etc, but gets sucked up before it can move past. the area inside the pumps pumping area is completely dry.
