Does it work with seawater? Some countries have a frightful shortage of freshwater, so rather than risking loss due to evaporation, could you pump seawater uphill?

In theory seawater would work but it's important to consider the increased expenses and operating troubles from seawater. Corrosion, bio-fouling, increased need for filters and filter maintenance, etc...
