Barely related, but in Bern Gerechtigkeitsgasse they made an almost hidden art installation so that the Stadtbach (city stream) flows uphill in a small part. It's very fun to watch.

- wumms 2y ago"The city stream is redirected in an underground, invisible loop so that it flows backward, or upstream, for a short distance. However, the backflow is always just outflow in reality. This is because the watercourse has a continuous gradient."

- tomthe 2y agoYes, that seems to be the explanation. I found a few pictures here: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/615007 https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/615007 but they also do not show how it works.
