If Pittsburgh is at elevation 1223 feet and it is downstream the Monongahela from Morgantown WV how is Morgantown only 960 feet elevation?

The altitude of Pittsburgh at the point, where the three rivers come together, is between 700 and 800 feet above sea level. I don't remember the exact figure, but I know that it is close to that. Obviously, then, if Morgantown is at 960 feet, the Monongahela would have no problem flowing downhill to Pittsburgh.
I don't know where they get that 1223 foot elevation figure for Pittsburgh. The surrounding areas are generally above 1000 feet, but it is the elevation of the rivers that matters with respect to the flow of the rivers.
>>The pool level of the Ohio river at The Point in Pittsburgh is 710 feet elevation, so the Monongahela would flow down from Morgantown.

How do you calculate the invert elevation of a manhole?
Invert elevations can usually be found directly on as-built drawings of the sewer facility. The simplest way to calculate an invert elevation of a manhole is to measure the depth of the manhole from the surface to the pipe invert. The invert elevation equals the ground or rim elevation minus this depth. If you do not know the rim elevation or invert elevation, a surveyor must measure the invert and/or rim elevation with reference to a nearby elevation benchmark (see: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Elevation_Benchmark.jpg). Also, upstream and downstream invert elevations in a manhole typically differ by about 0.1 feet.
