- i_am_proteus 5y agoIt is possible to move water to a higher elevation by means of a pump. The water can then flow down hill. This is the same technology that is used to raise groundwater to the surface, and to distribute water from many reservoirs. It is in economic use today. The aqueduct I mentioned, that which brings water from the Colorado river to Southern California, uses several pumps to raise the elevation of theaqueduct along its course.
