Sloping water tunnels and channels interconnect existing sources of water with dry land areas to form new water basins. Turbines are installed in rapidly flowing portions of the water tunnels and channels to generate electricity. Overflow tunnels connected to the sloping water tunnels by water gates communicate with wastewater treatment plants feeding into the sloping water tunnels to open the water gates when the outflow of treated wastewater starts to back up. The water tunnels and channels are formed by removing earth and installing steel frames with sprayed on concrete which is waterproofed. The earth removed is used to fill valleys to create dams and dumped into existing lakes and ocean bays on pontoon railways to create breakwaters and islands. A number of existing sources of water and new water basins are interconnected by a number of open water channels navigable by water vessels to create a transregional navigable water transportation system. Sufficient water is transported to dry land areas creating new water basins so that the hydrological cycle is altered increasing precipitation and so that the dry land areas are supplied with water for irrigation, fire fighting, transportation, recreation, fishing, habitation uses, and other water needs.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A system of distributing a flow of water from a wastewater treatment plant to a dry land area of lower altitude than the wastewater treatment plant, thereby forming a water basin in the dry land area, the system comprising:at least one gravity flow means downwardly sloping away from the wastewater treatment plant to the water basin and communicating therebetween to enable the flow of water from the wastewater treatment plant to flow via the at least one gravity flow means to the water basin by gravity flow thereby distributing the water to the water basin;a means for preventing the flow of water from the wastewater treatment plant from backing up into the wastewater treatment plant; andwherein the means for preventing the flow of water from the wastewater treatment plant from backing up into the wastewater treatment plant comprises at least one overflow gravity flow means to another water basin downwardly sloping away from and in communication with the at least one gravity flow means, and further comprising a water gate therebetween, the water gate being capable of opening when the at least one gravity flow means is full to allow overflow water to flow into the at least one overflow gravity flow means to prevent a backup to the wastewater treatment plant.
