watertank
Liquid holding container
A watertank is a container for storing water, typically a large vessel used for household supply, agricultural irrigation, or industrial purposes.
The single-word form is less common than water tank, but both refer to the same thing—from rooftop tanks supplying building pressure to massive cylindrical structures on farms and ranches.
