Default how do I clear drain in battery compartment / flooded footwell

2003 passat wagon
I've found that the reason why the footwells in my car have been
flooding is because the windshield drains into the battery/master
cylinder compartment, and the drains for this compartment are clogged
with debris, and are concealed out of view under the battery or the
master cylinder. This compartment fills with water, which then enters
the cabin through holes in the firewall.

Can anyone tell me exactly where these drain holes are so I can clean
them with a stick? I want to resolve this quickly, because I'm told
there is some sort of computer module under the right side floorpan
which can get ruined. $$$
TIA

the battery must be removed, no other way! Under the battery is a rubber
looking thing, just throw it away which makes the drain hole bigger.
