<div>What do they use for pipelines? I imagine there is some tag

I don't know. But I do know of one group of pipelines that are used
in doth directions;<br>
<br>
When electricity generation is required they flow water down hill to
power electrical turbines. <br>
<br>
When there is an excess of electrical generation they pump water
uphill. <br>
<br>
From the pipeline wiki this looks to be used ... <br>

.. note that flow_direction is undocumented. <br>
