Something else to consider (especially if someone is planning to include a
water feature in, say, a train layout)...LEGO snaps together tight, but not
watertight. You'll need to epoxy the bricks together or seal the whole
assembly together with silicone to be sure the water only goes where you
want it too, and not all over the place. So if you intend to re-use the
bricks, there seem to be a lot of negative side-effects. Otherwise, I'd love
to see live water in some creations.
