ASI - Reservoirs, Standpipes, and Composite-Elevated Tanks

A water reservoir is an artificial holding container used to store, regulate or control potable water. Generally, reservoirs have a greater diameter than height and standpipes have a greater height than diameter. Standpipes are generally used for municipal and rural potable water storage, as well as industrial process water. Composite-elevated tanks are potable water storage tanks that are usually composed of a welded or bolted steel storage container atop a reinforced concrete pedestal or steel legs. They are gaining popularity in municipal water storage applications.
