Is that a poured or a block wall you've got there?
Having seen a bssement wall collapse from saturated ground, I'd say you might just want to look into removing the water and installing the means for it to drain out in the future.
Digging a hole staight down to see if you hit constant "ground water" there would be a start; it'd be easy to pump out with a Little Giant or similar pump, or install a standpipe made of 1 1/2" PVC surrounded by gravel that you could hook a self-priming (pool) pump to to draw out as the need arises.
The ultimate permanent answer would be to dig aroung the foundation and install drain tile that empty out at the front where it's low.
