Well, yes & no. No, rivers DO NOT flow uphill (where does this urban legend come from anyway?). The starting point of ALL rivers is higher than their end point. HOWEVER, under the right conditions, small amounts of water CAN be drawn...

Water will move up slightly with momentum - say at the bottom of a waterfall, and surface tension will pull water slightly upwards at the edge of containers, but in general water will always go downhill. IN ADDITION: You can make water go u...

There is a device called a hydraulic ram, which causes water to flow uphill with no outside influences except the actual flow of water. The Hydraulic Ram This device was apparently developed in Britain and put into operation during the late...

It is not just recent, but fragile—like water flowing downhill, wealth trickles away unless it is well husbanded. The good news is that we now know the rules of that husbandry. The bad news is that so many of us are too muddle-headed to put it into practice.

Rivers flow downhill. Heat flows from a hot area to a cooler area. Clothes and shoes wear out, and buildings crumble if not maintained. Every adult is familiar with these physical processes, which scientists see as instances of what is know...

Elevating water increases its potential energy, so it cannot occur without other energy being expended. For example, an electrical water pump uses electrical energy to pump water uphill. A siphon can make water flow uphill at first, but the...

Water is pumped out of the tops of each ramp, cascading water down both the ramp and over its edge. Bubbles rising inside each ramp give the illusion of water flowing uphill, and all together it makes it look like the water is defying gravity.

Or put in another way, what causes water to flow uphill?2 A persistent Eustachian valve can cause interatrial right-to-left shunting with a normal right atrial pressure.3 Platypnea-orthodeoxia could be explained on the basis of positional modification of abnormal shunting.
