Bury a large plastic tank in your yard and use it like a cistern.  when it's
full, turn a valve and let it drain into your yard or garden.  Add a
submersible pump, and connect it to you sprinkler system or power washer.

Regarding the diverting of rivers, consider the property values in a palce
such as Vale, Colorado, and consider how rich some of thsoe people must be.  I
 live in southwest Michigan, and a property down the road from me was listed
for $8 million a few years ago.  People with big money like that are williung
to landscape  and create features they cannot naturally obtain.
