I'll assume you're talking about the verb "to ditch" and not the noun "ditch."

"Ditch" is slang for "get rid of" or "leave" in a negative sense.

"I'm bored. Let's ditch this party and go somewhere else."
"I can't believe you ditched me after school! Where did you go?"

The pit that runs parallel with a road for collecting water is a ditch.
Secondarily if I abandoned something, I ditched it. Example. "I ditched mountain biking in favor of playing hockey"
In the military when a pilot has to crash land on the ocean, they also ditch.
Example. "I don't have enough fuel to return to base, I'm going to have to ditch."

ditch is another word for throw. An example would be "I ditched a ball across the field."
It probably more common as a casual way to say you didn't go to a place/event that you really didn't want to go. For example, "I ditched that class."
