ᐅ Issues with the light well, unfortunately water in the basement

Good morning,
we have been living in our house for 2 years now, and this is the second time we have water in the basement.
The water is rising and cannot drain quickly enough through the clay soil around the house.
My question to the experts here: Has anyone experienced the same problem and found a solution?
My idea was to cover the window with a plexiglass sheet and place a submersible pump in the light well.
For this, I would need to reopen the edge of the driveway and lay a drainage hose into the front yard.

Are there any other suggestions?

Best regards,
Tim
