It sounds like they're fighting gravity (else skin friction). Siphons shouldn't need pumps. Possibly the solution would be an hydrophobic lining or sleeve in the tunnel.

Eminent domain certainly makes sense within that framing, but other cultures question whether you can really own your Mother. Can we compromise and say 'Our biggest problems are all in our legal system'? or 'Rule of law is fine, but it's gone on far too long'?

I see a technical problem. A tunnel 3960 feet underground is qualitatively different to a canal running through the lawyers' back yard.
