I suggest you contact the Ministry of Defence. They have recent
experience of using moats to protect buildings, although these days they
are designed to look like ornamental lakes.

Having just watched Top Gear and the driving of wheeled vehicles across
Icelandic lakes the MOD may need to reconsider using water for protection.

ISTR that Jeremy Clarkson in a Range Rover failed to outrun a Chieftain tank
in an earlier programme and that was with cover available.
