How do I make a reaction require a bucket of water? I've read Ye Olde Threades and get the impression this is impossible. Barrels or jugs of water are also acceptable.

Bonus: How do I dump that water onto the floor? Ideally 1/7 of muddy water?

Idk last I heard is you just fill enough LIQUID_MISC:NONE:WATER:NONE into a minecart, then have that minecarft put on a rail, then have said minecart "dump" that water

Making a reaction need a bucket of water is easy, so Hugos answer above. The problem arises from dwarves being stupid and not filling the bucket with water, even if you have a pond, river or well available.

So I need a water sluice, minecarts feeding under a waterfall in that sluice, and they'll pick up and empty the carts at my mining jig. Then the cart goes back to the queue for the waterfall.

Better than I could have expected, really.

It is actually very easy to get a bucket of water if you designate a single tile of pit/pond area on flat ground with no edges to dump off of. Dwarves dutifully fill bucket after bucket with water and drop it in a neat little pile.

See, I contributed to society.

Interesting.  Could something like this be used to automatically make your dwarves empty out all those half-filled water buckets they leave everywhere?

I'm pretty certain that I missed a few things, but something like this maybe:
