What about them was debunked? Were they just made with machines?

Yeah. I can't find anything right now, but there have been many takedowns that show the excavator tracks in the background. Also videos that show the aftermath of these "hand-dug pools", where you see a bunch of them clustered in an area (again, with evidence of earth moving equipment).

Other absurdities are when the pool is filled with thousands of gallons of water, one bucket trip at a time.
