Practical Engineering | How Water Towers Work @PracticalEngineeringChannel | Uploaded December 2018 | Updated October 2024, 5 days ago.
Purpose and function of elevated water storage tanks.
The job of finding enough water, making it safe to use, and then reliably distributing it to the system customers with almost no downtime is a monumental task that requires a lot of infrastructure. And, probably the most visible component of a public water system is the elevated storage tank, also known as a water tower. I’m Grady Hillhouse and this is Public Works, my video series on infrastructure and the humanmade world around us.
