At its bottom, drain the swamp is a metaphor: If you drain the swamp, you eliminate the mosquitoes (or snakes and alligators, in other iterations) that breed disease. But, ironically, the original disease the expression referred to was the very thing Trump has built his campaign on: big business.
Build trenches and canals that allow water to flow out. For most swamps, you can dig a series of trenches below the current water level, allowing gravity to do the work of propelling water down and out of the swamp. As the standing water drains away, the swamp flora and fauna will die out, andâas long as the land remains relatively dryâupland flora and fauna will replace it. Depending on how permeable the soil is, the trenches may need to include piping to help ensure the water flows out instead of permeating the soil.
