Working in water distribution field, i will show you some pictures of water towers, and especially of the inner of this tower (not used to see)
This one is at the tank, situated in the upper part of the tower. In that case, there are two tanks, each with a capacity of 2500 meter cube. Under these tanks, there are no water, as often thought. There are pipes, valves, and amartures.
The main goals of a water tower is to produce pressure and water stockage to be able to continue to deliver water during one day in case of problem or maintenance.
This picture has been shot without flash,apperture priority, with a Sony CyberShot dsc-V1

effet de vide! elle est impressionnante cette photo, on a l'impression qu'il ne vaut mieux pas tomber dedans sinon on peut plus remonter..belle prise de vue et belle couleur !

Hello Bernard, belle piscine. Si je comprends bien à cette heure tardive, toute l'eau passe par la tour en tout temps. On n'a pas ici ce système de tours comme on en voit partout en France. Ou j'habite l'eau viens d'un lac. - Photo inhabituelle et intéressante pour cette raison. Et la qualité est pas mal du tout. Bye.

Cool ! Ca c'est une photo d'eau ! Encore moins facile à capturer que les miennes (lol). Excellente image malgré les conditions d'éclairages difficiles. Bien joué !

That is different. Really cool scene, it's like somewhere in a science fiction movie. It's entrancing!

I just wonder why you don't post this on TE, it really serve to teach us about the world which is TE's mission.

Super intéressantes toutes ces explications sur vos châteaux d'eau. J'ai hâte de voir la suite.

Cette photo ci est très précise. Les reflets de l'eau sont bien rendu ainsi que la texture des parois du bassin, si je peux l'appeler ainsi.
À suivre

Very informative shot, I've often wondered what's inside of one of these. Thanks for sharing.

A very informative picture, Bernard. TFS. I work for a drinkwater distribution company myself, but hadn't seen the inside of one of these towers yet...
Is the Charleroi area pressurised only through these towers or do you use pumps as well (to pressurize, not to fill the towers, I mean) ?
I like the effect of 1/8" on the water streaming into the tower. Well done.
