I know with waste water you cant pump up hill all at one go, ie, one single pipe travelling for kilometres. There are pumping stations at different stages along the route where there are holding tanks which are filled then pumped up to the next holding tank along the line.
It travels along in steps, to illustrate the point.
Reflux valves are in the pipeline in order to prevent water running backwards or else you’d be forever fighting the water flowing back.
No one sees this as the pipelines are under ground.
Air compressors operate the pumps forcing the water along.
It’s a mixture of manual operation as well as electrified.

I find it very amusing how you’re having a bob each way.
And why.
Let’s say your random YouTube channel is right and nasa is wrong. The biggest reason that the solar maximum is a red herring is it is a cycle. You can’t explain a historical record with a phenomenon that has happened regularly throughout history.
Like, I genuinely hope that your YouTube channel is right, but the chances are low.

Yeah, but, what have graphs got to do with cats and dogs eating illegal Haitian ducks?
From the Murray 2 Melb is uphill 
Is it Kilmore Gap in the Great Divide, where some rivers flow to the Murray?
This sentence in isolation.

The upper atmosphere would heat if solar maximum had a real impact on earths atmosphere. It hasn’t and it doesn’t.
Why hasn’t it you ask? The absorbent frequency of particles in the upper atmosphere is not that of direct sunlight.
What has actually happened is that over the last century or so is that the lower atmosphere temp increased and upper atmosphere has cooled. The overall temperature and hence energy of the atmosphere has been conserved.
The impact of this is obviously due to irradiate heat from the earths surface is interacting with higher density of particles being at lower atmospheric heights which has warmed the lower atmosphere.
If lower atmospheric particle density wasn’t a thing, the irradiated black body irradiation from earth would make it to higher levels of the atmosphere and interact with particles there and would heat them up.
Conservation of energy dictates that a hotter upper atmosphere would require the lower atmosphere to cool. Again it hasn’t.
These are basic physics principles that cannot be ignored.

It is at Kilmore gap where the change from north to south flowing river/creeks etc occurs, bit difficult to be exact with locations but Wallen water flows towards melbourne, (south generally) Kilmore water flows towards the Murray river (North generally)

It actual does heat the atmosphere & has a direct impact on low orbit satellites…so it has & it does
It hasn’t though.
And you know that.
You have to know that this is an eleven year max to min cycle that has previously had checks notes precisely smashes calculator Fark All effect on the global temperature.
But you’re pretending this time it will.
Because you know this year will be a new global record, and you’re desperately reaching for something other than the obvious to explain it.
Your transparency is, as I said, amusing.

No. You are 100% wrong.
Solar visible light doe not heat up particles in the atmosphere. Different energy absorption lines between atmospheric gases and metals.
What heats up the particles in the atmosphere is black body radiation irradiated from an object on the earth. That irradiated energy is in the infrared wavelengths.
That is what heats up particles in the lower atmosphere which is predominately made of gases it hits and interacts with them. The black body irradiated energy excites electrons in the gas particles / compounds and raises them to a higher energy level. When those electrons drop back to their initial energy they release energy radially which heats up the surrounds.
Satellites in orbit outside of the atmosphere absorb sun light in the visible band as that is what metals do. They have high absorption of sunlight wavelengths.
Gases in our atmosphere are low absorbers of sunlight wavelengths but very high absorbers of black body irradiated infrared wavelength sunlight.
If you cannot talk in the language of physics and science your claims will not be considered seriously. Posters keep on telling you this but you back to your claims again and again.
Physics and science lesson over.

What has visible light got to do with it.
Visible light is such a small part of the spectrum of particles that come from the sun … radiation from the sun includes lots of non visible “light” particles so I’m not sure what your trying to say
Is that like non-visible CO2 so it has no effect?
Explain why an eleven year cycle will be a factor in raising or lowering temperatures this time.
Why do you want us to ignore its last five cycles?
lol. No need to answer that one.
Like infra red light, like Xray light, like ultra violet light … pretty fundamental really, not visible but light (or EMR if you like)
Okay.
Goose.
My apologies for taking you out of your comfort zone Wim, I only know cause I studied it at university
Which is why you slapped down my several serious questions rather than going for the low-hanging fruit of my obviously sarcastic one.
Well done, doctor.
