A fifth way to raise water: n-body gravity; wait for the moon and the tides
A sixth way to raise water through a pipe possibly at an angle possibly into a water tank: MHD: Magnetohydrodynamic drive.

- Is MHD more or less efficient than the other methods?
(Edit) I wouldn't matter whether the pipe to lift water though is at an angle; Is my intuition bad on it this?
Shallower orbital trajectories are preferred to perpendicular to the gravitational field of the greatest local mass because: is it just Max Q or also total energy?
But the downward force of a column of water in a tube at an angle is no greater than the two pointing straight up, is it?
