Crawfish holes.. Explain to me

Hey yo
I've been doing a lot of work in East Tangi this year-for example. I'm sure this happens across the state. There is no real bodies of water in Robert to speak of-other than a few stock ponds and drainage into the Tangipahoa River, but crawfish mud hills are literally everywhere there. I saw on WBRZ a fella from LSU Ag was explaining that crawfish can be like ten feet deep in there. My question is what are they doing there? Seems like they would rather be in a pond?
There's some disconnect here for me.

The mounds you see are generally associated with a different species of crawfish than the ones we are custom to eating.

I have so damn many mounds I think it would take a week and 10 pounds of lye. I just roll over them with the zero turn.

I’ve always heard they build them before a big rain, and tall enough to where their hole won’t flood. So you can maybe judge how high the water will get from rains/floods by the height of the crawfish chimney

It took me 3-4lbs to rid my yard of them. 
Just make sure you wear gloves.

Those custom private towers are for the shot callers. Ditches & ponds are for the poors.
Grew up in Vernon Parish same there. My friend & I started our spotlighting careers with them at about age 7. Knock them down in the daytime & mark hole with a plastic utensil. Then come back at night with a flashlight & shovel.
Once we learned the finesse of sneaking up on them it was easy to get a bucket full of bait in the neighborhood. Had a great time doing this.
