A drought is an unusually long amount of time dry, so I'm going to guess the word you were aiming for there is flood, not drought.
Technically, there isn't a trunk drain, because water isn't supposed to get in there in the first place. Don't go trying to drill one down there, either - the fuel tank is right there. You should use a wet/dry vac to suck it all out. You also need to figure out why water is getting in your trunk. Is the trunk lid properly adjusted? Is the weatherstripping still healthy and sealing?

Get most of the liquid out with a plastic cup, or glass jar till its just residual on the metal.
if the trunk carpet is installed and got soaked, remove it, and clean it out of the car.
Use absorbent (cat litter) let it soak for a while. then sweep it out with a hand brush and pan.
Then some simple green and paper towels till its all gone.
keep using absorb on the carpet till it dosent pick any more oil up, then vacuum the residuals. (tho this is just a guess on at least drying the oil from carpet. It may never get "clean" again... I've had to do the other tho in my spare well.)
