Smash the foliage and gather some studs, including a few hidden along the base of the wall in the foreground. Don't worry about the ones on the ledge on the left; you'll get them soon.
Head up the steps to the right. Turn the crank to raise the water level slightly throughout the area. Swim across the pool to the ledge with the levers and buttons. Pull the 2 levers to activate several moving platforms—3 above the water on the left and one in the pool just below the levers.
If you just want to get to the Artifact as quickly as possible, skip this section. If you're trying to collect the maximum number of studs, be sure to dig up the treasure chest in the narrow, fenced-in area on the left. Then return to the edge where you climbed out of the take a few minutes to swim back across the small pool below the levers. Return to the starting area at the bottom left corner. With the water level raised, you can now reach the blue studs on the ledge. Go back to the crank and turn it to lower the water level again. Ride the moving platform up to the ledge with the levers and buttons. Drop down into the area on the left, collect the loose studs and dig up the 5 treasure chests to get even more. When you have everything down here, return to the crank and turn it again to raise the water level once more. Then, if you like, you can now swim around the large pool collecting the studs on the ledges that are now at the water level.
Step on the 2 red buttons to turn on the fan. Then ride the breeze onto the ledge above. Smash the plants for studs. Then jump across the 3 moving platforms to the ledge on the far left. Turn the second crank here to add a bit more water to the pool. With the water at this level, you can reach the L-shaped ledge below on the left, where you'll find more studs.
Then swim to the ledge in the far left corner. Climb out of the pool there and follow the ledge to the right. Jump from the faucet into the treetops to snag the purple stud. Then step on the 2 red buttons to raise the water level even further. Retrieve the purple stud on top of the column on the far left. Then swim to the lever in the middle of the pool. Pull it. Then pull the second lever, near the right wall, to open the gate in front of the Artifact. Swim across the pool and take it to end the level.
