Yes I got the idea from something similar to this.

In the distant past, this idea was used by engineers to adjust the cheap land that was swamp. Today, there are several factories and a large airport on these lands.
The owner gave his engineers the task of solidifying the land - to dry the swamp.
The swamp can be very well dried with water. As? What kind of crap is that? It's not stupid it's a simple and brilliant solution.
They started to draw water from the swamp to the nearby hill. The water from the hill washed away dirt and stones. All the material flowed back into the swamp. The weight of the material displaced water that was less and less.
A canal is excavated around the site to regulate the surrounding water. The land is still dry and perfectly reinforced. It was 100 years ago. The land was raised by 4m across the area. If you have a garden hose, you can try.
I like smart thoughts.
