Pumps 'filter' water and water wont go stagnant if it never touches natural-stone,, i.e you have to dig out an area 1 bigger than intended and then construct walls and floors to line the cistern - if you then use a pump to get the water into the cistern it should stay clean.
Mud on the floor is unavoidable unfortunatly - a symptom of letting players flood areas to gain farmable plots.
This means that if a cistern water-level drops enough, trees can germinate in the mud and your water-supply can end up getting blocked by trees growing under the wells or infront fo the floodgate etc - which is why a 2 Z-Level deep cistern is preferable. But if its constantly being filled by the river its unlikly to fall low enough for trees to sprout.

That reminds me of how as humans we create single-crystal metal ingots, i.e a *perfect*, molecularly continuous, large lump of metal.

This is a sinlge molecule (crystal) of Silicon:

Drowing trap needs improvement in the mean time.

Cannon filled with Adamantine strands would probably do somthing like this (at least over short distances)
