No, unless the water had to <i>rise</i> 10m from your bathtub before descending. If it only had to rise enough to climb through a window before descending to your yard, then that is not enough to produce the problem in the article.<p>The problem described is that water cannot be lifted <i>up</i> more than 10m (due to air pressure pushing on the bath side not exceeding the weight of 10m of water in the hosepipe), not pulled down on the far side.
