The water tank is a container for storing water. Water tanks are used to provide water storage for use in many applications, drinking water, irrigation agriculture, fire suppression, agricultural agriculture, both for crops and livestock, chemical manufacturing, food preparation and many other uses. The tank water parameters include the general design of the tank, and the choice of construction materials, coatings. Various materials are used to make water tanks: plastic (polyethylene, polypropylene), fiberglass, concrete, stone, steel (welded or bolted, carbon, or stainless). The soil pot also serves as a water storage. Water tanks are an efficient way to help developing countries save water.

Histori
Throughout history, wooden tanks, ceramics and stones have been used as water tanks. These containers are all natural and some are manmade and some of these tanks are still operating. Indus Valley Civilization (3000-1500 BC) utilizes a granary and water tank. Medieval castles need a water tank for defenders to withstand siege. The wooden water tank found in AÃÆ' Â ± o Nuevo State Reserve (California) is returned to function after it is found fully overgrown with ivy plants. It was built in 1884.

Type
Chemical contact tanks FDA and NSF polyethylene construction, allow chemical chemical treatment retention time to "contact" (chemically) with product water.
Groundwater tanks , made of carbon steel, can receive water from wells or from surface water, allowing large volumes of water to be placed in stock and used during peak demand cycles.
Increased water tank , also known as water tower, will create pressure at a ground level outlet of 1 kPa per 10.2 cm or 1 psi per 2.31 meter elevation. So a tank raised up to 20 meters produces about 200 kPa and a tank raised up to 70 feet yields about 30 psi of discharge pressure, sufficient for most domestic and industrial needs.
The vertical cylindrical cylindrical top tank can hold from 200 liters or fifty gallons to several million gallons. Horizontal cylinder tanks are typically used for transportation because their low profile creates a low center of gravity that helps maintain the balance for transport vehicles, trailers or trucks.
Hydro-pneumatic tank is usually a horizontal pressure storage tank. Emphasizing this reservoir water creates a free delivery surge of stored water into the distribution system.
Design
With the design of a water tank or container should not harm the water. Water is susceptible to a number of ambient negative influences, including bacteria, viruses, algae, pH changes, and mineral accumulation, gas accumulation. Contamination can come from a variety of origins including pipes, tank construction materials, animal waste and birds, mineral and gas intrusion. Properly designed water tanks serve to overcome and mitigate these negative impacts. It is Imperative that the water tank is cleaned every year to block the delivery of algae, bacteria and viruses to humans or animals.
Related security-related articles related to copper poisoning coming from plastic tanks. The article shows that rainwater is collected and stored in a plastic tank and that the tank does nothing to reduce low pH. The water is then taken to homes with copper pipes, copper is released by high acid rain water and causes poisoning in humans. It is important to note that since the plastic tank is an inert container, it has no effect on the incoming water. A good practice is to analyze the water source periodically and treat it accordingly, in this case the accumulated acid rain must be analyzed, and the pH adjusted before being brought to the domestic water supply system.
The release of copper because acidic water is monitored can be achieved by various technologies, starting with a pH strip and going to a more sophisticated pH monitor, indicating a pH that, when acidic or caustic, some with an output communication capability. There is no "linkage" between the plastic tank and copper poisoning, the solution to this problem is easy, monitoring the 'rainwater store' with the 'pool strip' cheaply and available in the pool, supply outlets. If the water is too acidic, contact the state/district/local health authorities for appropriate advice and solutions and what pH limits and guidelines should be used to treat rainwater for domestic drinking water.
