History
stone water tank in the courtyard of the palace, Saxony, Germany
Throughout history, wood, ceramic and stone was used as a water tank. All containers occur naturally and some artificial and some tanks were still in service. Indus Valley Civilization (3000-1500 BC) using barns and water tanks. medieval castle needed water tank for the defense to withstand a siege. A wooden water tank was found at Año Nuevo State Reserve (California) is returned to the function after being found completely overgrown with ivy. It was built in 1884.

Chemical tank contact from FDA and NSF polyethylene construction, which allows for the retention time for the chemical treatment chemistry to "contact" (chemically treated) water in these products.

ground water tanks, made of carbon steel coated, can receive water from water wells or surface water, so that large volumes of water to be placed in inventory and used during peak demand cycles.
high water tank, also known as the water tower, take the pressure at the outlet of the ground-level one per 10.2 cm kPa or 1 psi per 2.31 feet of elevation. So the tank raised 20 meters create about 200 kPa and the tank is 70 feet high create about 30 psi discharge pressure, sufficient for domestic and industrial needs of inmates.
Vertical cylindrical dome top of the tank can hold 200 liters or fifty gallons to several million gallons. horizontal cylindrical tanks used to transport low-profile because they create a low center of gravity helps maintain the balance of the transport vehicle, trailer or truck.
A hydro-pneumatic tanks are typically horizontal pressurized storage tanks. Pressurizing reservoir water creates a surge free delivery of water put into the distribution system.
Design
In the design of water tanks or containers must not be harmful to water. Water is vulnerable to a number of negative environmental influences, including bacteria, viruses, algae, changes in pH, and accumulation of mineral, gas accumulation. contamination can come from various sources including pipelines, tank construction materials, animal and bird droppings, mineral and gas intrusion. A water tank is designed to work well to address and mitigate the negative effects. However, from time to time you can see that the water tank can corrode and even become infected. In the UK, a solution called Acothane increasingly becoming a popular choice to reline the water tank. The release of copper in acidic water monitors can be achieved with a variety of technologies, starting with pH strips will be more sophisticated and monitor pH, showed that when the pH of acid or caustic, some have communication skills output. There is no "relationship" between plastic tank and copper poisoning, the solution to this problem is easy, watching 'stored rainwater' with a cheap and widely available, swimming pool supply outlets' swimming pool strip '
If the water is too acidic, / district / local health officials state contact for advice and appropriate solutions and a range of pH and what principles should be used to treat rain water for use as drinking water in the country.
Articles and specifications for applications to water tanks and design considerations, AWWA (American Water Works Association) provides the specifications required by many countries to complete the certification process to ensure the quality of the water consumed .

The American Water Works Association is a reservoir of knowledge of the water tank; association is to provide specifications for a variety of applications of water storage tanks as well as design. This site AWWA provides scientific resources that readers will be able to develop the perspective of information to make decisions about their needs water tank.
