I was trying to build tiles around a water reservoir to prevent leaks using a mob with the Amphibious trait and I found doing this decreases the visual volume of the water while drastically increasing the amount of water listed in the Resources tab.
The image below shows a starting plan. All three Dupes have the Amphibious trait so they can make the tiles standing inside and under the water. According to the Resource tab the starting amount of water is 14,579.9 kgs. Ladders have been built to allow Dupes access to all the water so it shows up in the Resource tab - at least I believe that's how it works?
The amount of water listed in the Resouces tab begins to increase as tile-building begins.
Once all tiles are built the visual graphic of the water is lower than the start, but the Resources tab says there is 248,885kgs. No contaminated water leaked into the reservoir. The horizontal ladder was built because a bug occurred stopping the Dupes from walking to the right ladder (one square to the left of it actually) after they had built it. This occurred after they had left the reservoir to get more materials and had their outhouse-less accidents.
Use Dupes with Amphibious feat Have Dupes build tiles standing inside the water The more tiles that are built, the lower the waters appears but the more water is made in the Resource tab.
