I have DW's pack with a few misc mods added, but not super familiar with them. Is there a aqueous accumulator type block that makes it easy? I have the ranged pumps mod .. but only know how to set it up for lava :(

Ender IO has reservoirs which can be set up in any shape, and as long as you have more than two buckets stored it'll produce ~1 bucket a second iirc.
Industrialcraft 2 has a pump, but I haven't seriously worked with that mod since...I can't even remember when.
Mekanism has a pump that, fully upgraded, will produce silly amounts of water, and has the pipes to transfer said silly amounts. Of course, the resource chain for the fusion reactor needs moderately ludicrous amounts of water to keep up, so...

This is, of course, if you're looking to make water, as the mention of an AA suggests. I'm not entirely sure what's available for something like draining a lake.

I forgot the reservoir existed. That works perfectly. Thanks :)

I ran into a problem with this, not sure if you know how to fix or not. Everytime the server restarts, the reservoir had a brainfart, and doesn't auto-eject water into the connecting conduit, regardless of redstone behavior. The only way is to break, and replace ... and the next time it reboots I need to do again. Any clue?

Also, worth mentioning Immersive Engineering also has a pump. I've been using it to pump lava (and it does replace the lava with stone). Haven't tried it with water but it should work.

For early-ish game (pre-Nether), you can also use a Fluid Collector from Actually Additions with a standard (in world) infinite water source. An Atomic Reconstructor is required to craft the collector, but it's cheap.

Doesn't seem to matter, what I use. Resevoir's, collectors, pumps all seem to break on a server restart. :(
