1. An assembly system for storing water underground, wherein the assembly system is comprised of a plurality of individual adjoining four-sided modules forming an enclosed, four-sided tessellation,
wherein each four-sided module is comprised of a four-sided-shaped top, a combination of walls and/or legs extending downward from said four-sided-shaped top depending on their position within the assembly,
wherein modules along a perimeter of the assembly contain one wall equal in length to the top to define the perimeter of the assembly to create an overall enclosed storage system,
wherein, said wall is defined by extending vertically downward from said four-sided-shaped top, along its edge so that said top and walls intercept one another at their ends,
wherein said modules along the perimeter have two legs extending vertically from the four-sided-shaped top, and positioned inward from the edges of the four-sided-shaped top, and generally positioned on the side of the four-sided-shaped top opposite of the one having a wall, said legs mirrored to one another,
wherein modules not along the perimeter of the assembly only having two legs extending vertically from the four-sided-shaped top, and positioned inward from the edges of the four-sided-shaped top,
wherein said legs mirrored to one another, each having a general V shape, where the intersection point of each leg face inward, toward each other, and extending inward toward each other where the sides intersect,
wherein the resulting assembly of internal and perimeter modules is defined by having perimeter walls, and internal legs, said legs not in contact with one another within modules or between adjacent modules, spaced out away from all adjacent legs by at least one foot but not more than sixteen feet, and resulting in a system with no defined channels,
wherein at least one said module has an access hole in its top for access into said four-sided tiling shaped assembly system after installation underground.
