Water enters the fountains of Peterhof naturally through a system of locks,\ncanals, reservoirs and springs from the Ropsha heights, and the height of the\njets can vary depending on their filling. Pumps were never used in Peterhof.\nTourists from all over the world come to see this fountain near famous palaces.\nThe water delivery uses one tube pipe descending from the nearest hill.\nAfter the water comes down again in the lake, it flows out through the drain\npipe. So even this very high fountain is working without any motor and\ncomes back tube. And many fountains in the world are built according to this\nmethod. For hundreds of years of the existence of fountains, it never occurred\nto anyone to build a second pipe to return the water up the hill. So obviously,\nit is a one-way method.
