Is there anything stopping me from an engineering standpoint installing a water tower on my property and making sprinklers around a radius of my home to drench the area in case of wildfire?

Even the largest amounts of water you could reasonably store on a property isn’t really enough to create a sufficiently wide barrier around an entire home.
Some people building in wildfire-prone areas will maintain tanks/reservoirs of water and pumps, but that’s primarily for dealing with small fires that might become bigger ones.
