Do I use “扔掉” or “倒掉” to expressing getting rid of 死水？ I know this is very specific, but I was looking for a translation for standing/stagnant water (context: mosquitoes), but found out it `死水｀(if that's incorrect though, someone please kindly notify me). However, a new question popped up. What is the verb used for handing 死水？ In English, I would say something such as "get rid of".
死水 usually refers to the water size of a pond or lake. You probably want to use 积水 instead. Then you can say 清除积水, for example 清除房屋和院子里各处的积水.
