Back siphonage is a result of liquids at a lower level drawing water from a higher level.
Back siphonage should not to be confused with backflow because back siphonage is a result of liquids at a lower level drawing water from a higher level; while backflow is pormoted entirely by pressure in the reservoir itself.
Backflow can't occur through an intermediate high-point while back siphonage flows through an intermediate high-point and so it is much more difficult to guard against.
