So I am considering using a Chinese technique from about the same
historical era of using giant kites to lift Thames water into place
above the moat and pour it in from there.

Well, we have lots and lots of kites. I guess that they are English rather
than Chinese. They are quite large but maybe not quite giant. And red. But
I don't see how you'd train them?

Alternatively, you might fill it with Baileys. I'm sure that I heard
something about that somewhere...
