When a tube of smaller diameter is dipped in water, the water rises in the tube due to viscosity of water.

                Capilarity is due to cohesion and adhesion.

                It is due to capillary action.

                Rising of liquid is due to adhesion between the water molecules and glass.
Depression of liquid (eg mercury when glass tube is dipped) due to high cohesive force between the mercury molecules.

                Water tends to rise because it has capillary rise property.

                It is due to surface tension.

                Water do not show other capillary rise or fall.

                Kinetic energy and pressure energy is converted to a head of water.

                It's for addasiveness.
