air pressure pushes water into the pipe. since there's only water in the pipe, when the water moves through it and goes downhill, there's a vacuum left behind it and air pushes more water into the pipe to fill it. that's how water flows uphill on the inlet.
-
How deep does the inlet pipe have to be? Or does it just not matter?

@69rd96 agreed 100%

No what they do is place the pip into the pond, and the other end down hill to the spill point. Then attach a temporary pump to this down hill end, suck up water until it hits the pump and then detatch it. Once the water starts to flow it will continue on it's own accord.
The Romans used a similar principle when building Aquaducts for pushing water up the side of a cliff. Except they had manual pumps to get things flowing.

Let us know how long to drain the pond and how much water it drained please. Work smarter, NOT harder. That is a great motto. I Enjoy your videos.

Gravity kicks ass, except when women's boobies start to droop and sag, then gravity sucks.

@69rd96 gravity also sucks when your parachute doesn't open!
