Talking Practical Hydroplanning Advice

I just realized something the other day. I know the types of hydroplanning and formulas. However, no one has really taught me practical techniques to use while facing hydroplanning in real-life during Takeoff and Landing.

The only advice I have ever received was that while facing hydroplanning during landing, you would want to plant the aircraft firmly on the ground. No advice about use of thrust reverse.

The are three types of hydroplanning. Dynamic, viscous and reverted rubber. There are two scenarios that we can encounter. Take off and landing. So, that should mean that there should be 6 scenarios we can face. So, what techniques would you use in these 6 scenarios?

Look forward to your responses
