Summary0001409: Dwarves confusedly keeps taking water out and putting it back in the same water source
DescriptionWhile attempting to fill a pond within a meeting area, underground, i set 4 zones with the following:

-Water Source On
-Pit/Pond On (Is Pond)
-All others off, except the Active flag

And they've been doing to following:

-Get a bucket
-Get water from the water source
-Dump the water BACK into the water source.
-Continues the following.

I've attempted many times to keep them from doing it, and the only way is turning off the water source. But i think it as an annoyance to constantly do that, and have a way to keep them from doing the above. With a setting to prevent this, however, it can actually work out well.
Steps To ReproduceAs the following says. You need to A) Place Zones, B) Turn on Water Source, and Pit/Pond with it set on Pond, and C) Have buckets ready so they start filling. They'll then soon start playing with the water via bucket spam.
Additional InformationYes i know it can be resolved by just turning Water Source off, but it's considered too annoying to keep doing that just to refill the water source.
