That's how the a Waterfarm works. The air forces the water up the pipe.
Yes, but I am wondering if the same principal can be used on a much larger scale. Like to feed a flood and drain system or maybe a drip system that uses one reservoir instead of every plant needing its own reservoir. That will take a good amount of water flow as well as need to travel some distance before it reaches all the plants. If it were possible, it would aerate the water at the same time as it moves the water. Needing only pump instead of both a water and air pump, costing less to run. But it would all depend on the water flow, weather it would be economical.
