Can water naturally flow uphill?

Can Water Naturally Flow Uphill?

Earth's gravity is strong, but can water ever naturally go against it and flow uphill?

The answer is yes, if the parameters are right. For instance, a wave on a beach can flow uphill, even if it's for just a moment. Water in a siphon can flow uphill too, as can a puddle of water if it's moving up a dry paper towel dipped in it.

Even more curiously, Antarctica has a river that flows uphill underneath one of its ice sheets. So, how does science explain these upward watery movements?

Wow.. that last video... whew... is there a way to use that method to desalinize the salty ocean water? either spread the salt water on land... or blow the water through fans?

many pipes and fans using gravity.. and then some sort of collectors to then grab the minerals... solar and wind power to run many small fans 

the answer was blowin in da win bai

A simple gravity drop into a narrowing conduit will force water to flow upward or fountain forth.
