Claim 9:
10. A method of deploying a hydropower system in a natural body of water, the method comprising:
allowing water from the natural body of water to flow into at least one cylindrical water intake member coupled at a distal end of the cylindrical water intake member to a proximal end of at least one first cylindrical tube member and at least partially extending from at least one concrete block assembly and into the natural body of water;
allowing the water to flow down the at least one first cylindrical tube member, the at least one first cylindrical tube member having the open proximal end disposed through the at least one concrete block assembly, the water flowing to an open distal end of the at least one first cylindrical tube member coupled to a top portion of a turbine tunnel assembly, a turbine assembly therein, the at least one first cylindrical tube member adapted to carry water from the natural body of water to the turbine tunnel assembly via gravitational forces acting on the water;
the water from the at least one first cylindrical tube member turning a plurality of upwardly angled but non-vertical blade members extending around a central axis of at least one turbine generator assembly, the plurality of blade members rotating an electric generator assembly disposed within the turbine generator assembly to generate electricity therefrom, the plurality of blade members rotated by the flow of water over the blades, the water gravitationally disposed from the at least one first cylindrical tube member;
allowing the water to flow into at least one second cylindrical tube member coupled at a proximal end of the at least one second cylindrical tube member to a bottom portion of the turbine tunnel assembly, the at least one second cylindrical tube member coupled at a distal end of the at least one first cylindrical tube member to a top portion of an at least one injection hole member;
injecting the water into the at least one injection hole member opening at a distal end of the at least one injection hole member to at least one or more of a fault line, an underground water system, or a river system; and directing the water flow into the at least one or more of the fault line, the underground water system, or the river system, wherein a water cycle system imparts energy to move the water back into the natural water cycle of the natural body of water via at least one or more of solar, geothermal, or gravitational energy.
