I would worry that the duck water clogged the tubes.
Ducks and their "contributions" are known for their ability to gley a
pond.
Gleying, if you don't know means sealing to prevent water from infiltration into the surrounding soil.
I apply the duck water to the surface of the soil at the base of the plants.
If you are worried about water born disease, I would pour the duck water into
carbon rich
compost pile instead.
The climate battery part might work well.
The
online guides to this kind of thing call for deep excavations, long stretches of tube and powerful fans.
I say add them to under your paths if you, then try to use them as you see fit.
