I did an entire moat around a base in A21 and am pretty sure that would still be possible in 1.0. It takes enough water that you're not going to notice that it is filling up as you work on it. But with enough time, it will.
Yes & it's the problem... In very old time the water fill not in the same way as today, we could did swimming pool very deep, as well any water lifts, big fountain every where in the base ect...

Yes, actually if someone want to build a swimming pool, need to build base near a lake/river & then build directly in water...
