I see the waterways connected by magic the same way that the MOM 
connected the fireplaces, only set up Internationally.

The fireplaces were never explained either, except that they were 
"magically connected" and that connections could be shut off by the 
powers-that-be when they wanted to. It's magic- the "how" is mostly 
assumed.
