ABOUT WATER TANKS

Water tanks may be manufactured from plastic, steel, or pre-stressed concrete. These materials are typically used in ascending order of size, with plastic being used for the smallest water tanks, and pre-stressed concrete being used for the largest water tanks.

Plastic water tanks have capacities ranging from a few gallons to more than 10,000 gallons. At the other extreme, pre-stressed concrete water tanks are typically used in municipal and industrial applications, with capacities between 500,000 and 1,500,000 gallons.

Water tanks are used in residential applications, including for rain harvesting, in industry, in agriculture, and for municipal water supply.
