The Yuma Main Canal continues 10.5 miles (16.9 km) southwest until it reaches the 9.9-foot (3.0 m) Siphon Drop Spillway where a power plant was later built in 1926. After another 3.5 miles (5.6 km), it reaches the Colorado River Siphon which siphons the water under the Colorado River. After it reaches Yuma, it split into the East and West Main ...
Siphon tubes are a basic implement used in irrigation to transfer water over a barrier (such as the bank of a raised irrigation canal), using the siphon principle. At the simplest they consist of a pipe with no working parts. To work they rely on the water level in the canal being at a higher level than the water level in the field being irrigated.
Siphon irrigation of cotton at St George, Queensland. Siphoning is common in irrigated fields to transfer a controlled amount of water from a ditch, over the ditch wall, into furrows. Large siphons may be used in municipal waterworks and industry. Their size requires control via valves at the intake, outlet and crest of the siphon.

Four inverted siphon tunnels cross the particularly deep and wide river valleys of the Durèze, the Garon, [4] the Yzeron and the Trion on pipe bridges raised on high arches. In these, water filled a sunken tank tower (castellum [5]) on the brim of a slope. The tank effected a transition between open channel flow and a lead pipeline.
A drinking water supply system was developed starting at least as early as 550 AD. [37] This dhunge dhara or hiti system consists of carved stone fountains through which water flows uninterrupted from underground sources. These are supported by numerous ponds and canals that form an elaborate network of water bodies, created as a water resource ...

A "reverse" or "inverse" sprinkler would operate by aspirating the surrounding fluid instead. The problem is commonly associated with theoretical physicist Richard Feynman, who mentions it in his bestselling memoirs Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!. The problem did not originate with Feynman, nor did he publish a solution to it.
