How do water towers work? Where does the water come from? How does it get in there? How much? WHY! What do we do with it? Why are they in such random places ???
In: Engineering
So basically water towers are there for storage, mainly in older towns. During the busy times of the day 5-7 am and 6-9 pm, when people are showering, cooking, etc. Some cities water pumps can’t keep up with the load. Water towers were invented to help combat that. Basically during the rest of the time, they slowly get filled up, so when the time comes when there is an increase in water demand, the water will get taken out of the tower and distributed to houses. They’re built high up so that gravity can help maintain the water pressure.
