Solving Each Other's Problem
Modernizing ancient aqueducts; piping flood waters through a system that generates electricity from the flow and fall of water; we also have a clean–green energy and jobs producer.
Military, students, and prisoners build the aqueducts to divert flood waters from flood-prone areas into drought-prone areas as well as into heavy water-use agricultural areas — thus increasing our domestic food supply.
The added benefits to the people is the reduced load on local aquifers and provides more jobs that produce a charge-for-use service that pays for ongoing maintenance.
These ongoing jobs can go, in part, to the students and prisoners who helped build them, when they graduate or complete their sentence. Thus, society benefits long-term from the job-training.
