The surface of the Dead Sea is hundreds of meters below sea level so it seems like pumping would only be needed to prime a siphon and then it could keep flowing. What am I missing?

    Also, the maximum pressure you could have enough siphon is the difference in air pressure between the two ends. If you want more pressure, you have to pump.
