- W26883491 abstract "The language of the subject assigned to me for discussion demands comparisons of a kind which depend on whether emphasis is on the word or concrete. Laying stress on the elevated, and by I mean a tank artificially raised on some sort of a supporting sub-structure, one finds oneself immediately comparing a tank, be it concrete or not, that is wholly at a considerable elevation above the ground, with a reservoir built at the ground level or below it. As between these two forms one thing only, an important one, may be said in favor of the elevated tank, that it provides a structure capable of being located conveniently near the center of distribution, for the storage of water plus potential energy. In other words, water on which all of the work necessary to deliver it to the main has already been performed in leisure time and which is, immediately available therefore, for domestic and fire purposes and independent of the risks of pumping equipment failure during an emergency. Such a tank is immediately robbed of this one great advantage in any specific case, when a natural and conveniently placed hill allows the building of a reservoir at or below ground level, but sufficiently high above the distribution system to give an adequate pressure. The obvious disadvantage of an elevated structure is that its cost, for any given capacity, is far above that of a reservoir built at or below the ground. Non-elevated storage tanks have many important uses even when they do not furnish the necessary pressure to supply the distribution system by gravity. Some of these may be enumerated as follows: 1. An underground or surface reservoir serving both as a means of collecting and of storing water." @default.
