This is my entry during this bi-weekly mapping challenge over at. reddit.com/r/SourceEngine/comments/1qu12n/new_biweekly_challenge_is_it_cold_to_anyone_else
Video speed: 900%
This level is by no means my best work. I just challenged myself to make an entire level in one night after school. Total make time for the level is 2 hours, 16 minutes. I don't think it's too bad for the time, and what I did in it.

Adding Water to your level, quick and easy.
Water Limitations/Requirments
Expensive Water:
There may be only one water level height in a PVS if the water is expensive.
Expensive and cheap water may not be used simultaneously in the same PVS.
The waters surface should never slope in the Z-axis;
it should always be parallel to the horizon line in a map.
Water is created by applying a water material to the
top-most surface of a brush, while covering
the remaining faces with the toolstoolsnodraw material.
The water_lod_control entity controls the distance at
which expensive water transitions into cheap water.
An env_cubemap entity must be present for the water
surface to render properly on sub-DX9 hardware.
Areaportals may never cross the water surface.
Water does not seal the map.
Only the top of the brush renders correctly when seen. The sides and bottom are not rendered.

Hey all!
This video is just something a little informal that someone might find helpful. It is not edited in anyway. It shows how to make something happen based on when a team wins.
