water tanker

Mobile reservoir vehicle

A water tanker is a vehicle designed to transport large quantities of water.

Tank trucks deliver drinking water to areas without reliable supply, while larger tankers—ships or barges—carry freshwater for industrial use or emergency relief.

In firefighting, water tankers supply crews battling blazes in remote areas: The water tanker refilled the pumper trucks throughout the night.
