If you are singleplayer or a server with no ban for lava, you can use the lava/furnace trick. But only do this if you want to completely dispose of it, and not have it go somewhere else.

How it works: First, make a big tank where you first pump all the water(or drain it using shafts), and under it, dig a 2x3 hole, with a 1 block space in between the tank and the hole. Place anything behind it that is on the background layer* and has a size of 2x3(such as a furnace or a loom). Next, place lava in the hole so that it is completely full of water. Finally, remove the 1x3 wall between the tank and the hole, and all the water should dissapear.

An alternative is to make a sewer. A sewer is usally some outlet pumps that are hooked to inlet pumps in water that you want to dispose of. Like this:


 * 1) = block(any)

_ = air


 * = outlet pump


 * 1) _____#


 * 1) *_* _*_* _*_____#


 * 1) _____#

hellevator ^

Im sorry for the cheap diagram x3

Note how I made the hellevator wider. This is so that if you have a bird engine or a 1 second timer pulsing it, you can still use the hellevator without being slowed down by the falling water.

When the water reaches the end of the hellevator, it will evaporate.


 * layers: the backmost layer is the sun/moon, clouds and backdrop; 2nd layer is the walls that are placed around the world(not including the walls in the rocky dirt/rock layer in the world); 3rd are stuff like a workbench, furnace, torch, sign etc.; 4th is the player and npcs; 5th are the blocks; and finally, 6th is for mobs that can pass through walls such as worms or EoC
