Just one squirrel for 32 gallons of water?
Makes for a rather thin stew.

Drowning is a horrible death - you want to take out the critter humanely(and quick). Or trap the squirrel and let a cat have at it.
So being attacked by a cat until it dies is more humane than drowning?
There are a number of squirrel and rodent traps on the market today. Do some youtube research OP and you can see which one would fit your situation best.
I alternately through the years get rabbit, squirrels and chipmunks around the house out here in the country. Surrounded by Oak and Hickory trees so great squirrel feed. The squirrels can strip my pear tree of fruit in a couple days. Chipmunks and the squirrels get under the hood.
Chipmunks and rabbits disappeared with the presence of a local hawk the last couple of years. Squirrels seem to wax and wane with the nut crops.
If any become much of a pest I don't hesitate to use some mouse candy bars stashed in strategic locations.
