backflowing
Backflowing is the process or condition in which a fluid, usually a liquid or a gas, flows backward or reversely in a pipeline, plumbing, or other system. It often refers to the undesirable reversal of the flow of contaminants, chemicals, or pollutants into clean or potable water supplies. This usually occurs due to changes in pressure within the system. Special devices or methods are often used to prevent backflowing and safeguard the water supply.
