It is artificial so water does not flow in it

Secondly, regardless of where you think down is I'm going to tell you that the same reason water doesn't flow to wherever you think down is the same reason why you don't fall/slide/roll to wherever you think down is.

Since it's pretty evident that you have no idea how gravity works I'll give you a quick lesson. It pulls everything on the planet, including the planet itself, towards the center of the planet. Which is why people on the opposite side of the planet as we are on don't fall off the earth. So gravity is pulling the water DOWN towards the center of the planet.

I say including the planet itself because gravity is the reason why earth is a sphere. Even if this planet had 4 distinct corners when it was formed gravity will spread them out over time. For instance, the strongest theory for how the moon became a satellite of earth is that they collided together back before the universe stabilized. How did the universe stabilize you may ask? Gravity. But I'll get to that later. So if the moon and earth collided why aren't there big chunks where they crashed? Because gravity will slowly but surely pull everything back in a sphere again over the eons this planet has been in existence.

Back to the unstable universe. After the big bang all the billions of galaxies and hundreds of billions solar systems and gazillion (yes I made that word up) planets weren'tpart of any system yet. The gravity of larger masses (the stars) attracted the planets after the planets were formed. We can thank Jupiter for saving earth from being bombardedwith asteroids. Its so big and has such strong gravity that it has asteroids permanently orbiting it called the asteroid belt. These asteroids are leftover fragments that didn't get caught in a planet's gravity. So they roamed around until they got caught in Jupiter's gravity well.

But while gravity pulls the water down towards the center of the earth that has nothing to do with the currents found in water. The currents in oceans and lakes are caused by the wind. Take a boat to the equator and sit in the doldrums but make sure it's not a sailboat. There you will notice that the water is barely moving. This is because there is no wind in the doldrums.

Rivers and streams have their own currents which have nothing to do with gravity or wind.
