How do I make a procedure that acts like a Sponge?

Hello,

 

I am having trouble figuring out how to make a procedure that acts like a sponge (deleting water in a small radius) and make it activate when I break any block with a certain tool. I have already tried making one that checks every adjacent side, edge, and corner of the broken block for still water and replaces that still water with air, but all it does is make the water disappear for a split second, with only 1 or 2 bits of still water replaced with flowing water (Translation: It doesn't work). Does anyone have any suggestions or tips? Any would be greatly appreciated.

If the water gets replaced…

If the water gets replaced by flowing water that could probably be because there is more water surrounding the sponge.

You could make a ranged procedure to quickly turn all water blocks into air. I think there should be some topics here that explain this well, just look for a "leaf decay procedure" topic

I made a bonemeal procedure using loops, and yours should be similar.
