An observation about drowning moles:

Presumably it rains where you live every so often.  A good rain will saturate
the ground and sometimes even cause flooding in patches.  I expect it will
fill up a randomly constructed mole or woodchuck tunnel system.  Yet the
moles and woodchucks survive this quite handily in nature.  So I doubt pouring
water from your hose down the tunnel will kill them off.

I would guess that drainage is something these animals take into account
when they dig their holes.
