water tanks

Liquid holding containers

Water tanks are containers for storing water, ranging from small household units to massive municipal reservoirs.

They may be elevated to create pressure, buried underground, or mounted on rooftops.

The farm's water tank held enough for the dry season.

Water tanks also appear on trucks for firefighting, dust suppression, or delivering water to remote locations.
