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
It’s easier to pump water up to a tower and then use gravity to distribute it than it is to pump water directly to where it will be used. Each household could have its own pump and bring the water up to each apartment, but by having a single system and using gravity to keep water always pressurized, things are a lot less complicated and easier to fix, not to mention cheaper.
