Can water move against gravity?
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. You can make water go uphill by using a wick action such as a piece of rope. Companies use a piece of rope to keep the tops of barrels from becoming water pools by using the small piece of rope to siphon the pooled water up and over the lip of the barrel. A dishrag placed atop the divider in a double sink with one side full will draw water into the rag and drip it into the empty side for a period of time. A central spinning devive such as a blender's blades will make the liquid in the container rise above the normal level. a cylinder or a vase shaped container with a larger top than base if tilted and rotated will make the liquid inside move uphill.
Can Water can defy gravity and climb uphill?
You can take it up in a pail, for example. In general, if there is another force which is (at least locally) stronger than gravity, it can take water uphill. WITHOUT such additional forces, no, this isn't possible.In general, you need energy to push something up, against the pull of gravity; you need to get this energy from SOMEWHERE.

How can water move the boat?
if the water is moving then it will exert a force on the side of the boat. Still water will not move a boat.
Why does a bus going uphill travel more-slowly than going?
It requires extra power to go uphill, against the pull of gravity.
Forest fires move faster uphill than downhill?
uphill, for an experiment look for "Do forest fires move faster uphill or down hill
Can water flow uphill hypothesis?
Water can defy the force of gravity and flow uphill. This is possible when a device called a hydraulic ram is used. A wick action such as a rope can cause the water to flow uphill.
How can you run water uphill with a garden hose?
You can run water uphill with a garden hose by decreasing the size of the hose as it moves away from the water source. By decreasing the hose size, pressure in the hose increases and the water will travel uphill.
Can water flow?
water cannot flow uphill
Is it possible for water to flow uphill?
Momentum. :]
Why is the Nile River the only River that goes uphill?
My guess is that the water is pushed through and uphill from the water pressure of the volume of water following from a higher altitude. The water has no where else to go in short. Gravity
Do forest fires move faster downhill or uphill?
Fires move fastest uphill because heat rises. Experiment: Light a match and hold it with the tip up and time how long it takes the flame to move halfway down the matchstick. Then light another match, hold it tip down and time how long it takes the flame to move halfway up the stick. Be careful not to burn yourself!uphill, for an experiment look for "Do forest fires move faster uphill or down hill
How could an area protect itself from a Tsunami?
To move uphill or in a waterproof basement.
Can water flow uphill?
Water can flow up hill if there is some sort of machine that is able to pull it. Water does not naturally flow up hill it always flows downstream due to gravity.
Can floods go up hill?
Water obviously doesn't flow uphill, but if there is a lot of water in something like a valley, it will rise up the hill on either side, so in that way it can go uphill.
As water moves through the water cycle how do it shape the land?
it moves uphill and towards the surface of earth
Where did the water come from for an aqueduct?
From a source further uphill, a river in a mountain for instance.
