Backflow is an unwanted reversal of water flow caused by a sudden drop or complete loss in water pressure. Instead of pushing water out of the plumbing fixture, the drop in water pressure sucks water back into the public water system, possibly contaminating the system where it connects to non-potable water.

Today the term is generally understood in the biochemistry sense, which excludes compounds with only one or two carbons.
