If your biome is such that surface water isn't frozen year-round, you can drain it into an underground reservoir during the summer. Once underground it will remain liquid. The only way to melt frozen water on the surface in winter (or in a year-round frozen biome) is with magma.

Is it possible to use pipes to route water without leaking?

Pipes are only for building screw pumps. You can't actually use them to pipe liquids around yet.
