Yes I understand that this is purely hypothetical...

Most of the water would indeed reach the ground although it would certainly take a while (maybe another question?)because of the evaporation rate and the saturation level of the air that the water is traveling through>

It most likely would not. However if it did go insanly slow (dont ask how thats possible) and the heat was on the high end its possible that not all of the water would reach the ground the bulk would reach the ground but it all depends on the variables. Now if it was literally freezing it may even turn into ice on its way down (or maybe its just my train of thought when i want snow or ice =p). Good question though =].

30,000 ft is at the upper end of the water vapor range. Only in low pressures like huricanes does water more up into higher atmosphere. Never-the-less, at 30,000 ft water no matter what volume turns to vapor like sublimation at sea level.

I believe it would evaporate instantly if you could get it to flow out. However, it would actually freeze before reaching 30k ft. That is the altitude jet liners fly.

And dumb. It would take an extraordinary water pump to pump it that high. No such pump exists for that purpose.
