Concept:Using the governor's energy task force above that contains an efficient low cost technical/functional workforce develop a system that meets several community needs including fresh water, flood control and sustainability with low impact on the environment.

Water from higher altitude reservoirs would be placed in high volume steel pipes to small community reservoirs. Water, going down hill creates head pressure that continually multiplies. At each community place a hydro electric turbine on the pipe to capture the horsepower created by the head pressure. Water collected from the bottom of the community reservoir is drawn from the bottom of the reservoir through a combination of aggregate and sand to serve the water purification for the community. But in this case half of the water would be diverted to the next community where the process continues to communities at lower elevations. For example, management of flooding and water needs of lower altitudes could be from a high altitude state like Colorado at 5,000 feet to communities at all lower elevations to Texas. Or from Michigan to Florida resulting in abilities to move excess water from one region with too much to another like Atlanta last year that had too little.
While I'll admit that this idea has some merit in some situations, it may not be practical in other situations simply because water looses pressure with every foot of pipe that it must be transported through no matter how much head pressure exists at the entrance to said pipe and even if said pipe is laid in an entirely vertical position.

This is still a good idea, however, depending on the circumstances.
