Sure. The water pressure is mainly dependent on the difference in elevation between the reservoir and the user. So elevating the reservoir nominally increases the pressure available to a fixed user.
In practice, however, in large municipal water systems, the distribution isn't by gravity feed alone, and the pressure is maintained by controlled pumps..

Elevated water tank psi to feet formula?
Each foot of elevation change is equal to 0.433 PSI of water pressure. Elevating the water tank 10 feet would add 4.43 psi.
How can I use a cold water storage tank to increase my water pressure?
By elevating it higher as every foot higher will increase the static pressure almost a half a pound
What is the difference between water injection and water flooding?
I do not think that there is any difference. Petroleum engineers normally inject water into an oil reservoir to maintain the reservoir pressure (and hence the ability of the reservoir to pump oil to the surface). In the process and if the water injection wells are properly located, the injected water normally sweeps (pushes out) out more oil effectively flooding the reservoir and increasing the amount of oil that is recovered from the reservoir. This incremental oil will otherwise be left behind in the reservoir. Hence, in an oil reservoir where the natural aquifer is large and strong enough to maintain the reservoir pressure, water injection is unlikely to significantly increase the oil recovery from the reservoir.
What causes the water in an artesian well to spout upwards?
The term artesian means that the water is contained in an underground aquifer and/or reservoir. The fact that it is spouting means that it has artesian pressure and is a flowingartesian well. The geology of the site determines the amount of pressure on the reservoir and not all artesian wells have enough, or any pressure to spout. The pressure comes from the weight of ground structures and ground water pressing on and around the underground reservoir.
Why should water reservoir be built higher than the roof?
So that you will have water pressure from gravity.
What releases high pressure hot water from deep reservoir?
i believe one way vents.
How does water pressure change as you go deeper?
Water pressure increases as you go deeper.
Which reservoir does Brunswick get its water from?
The reservoir that Brunswick gets it's water from is a new dam and reservoir. It is called the Tower Road Dam and Reservoir. It was built to help the Moncton Reservoir to supply water to the community.
You change the hoses in your kitchen sink but the water pressure is very low what to do?
turn up the water pressure
Use reservoir in a sentence?
Example sentences for the noun reservoir: The reservoir for the towns water is fed by a natural spring. Jack is a reservoir of information on ancient history. I'll show you how to fill the ink reservoir on the press.
What is the difference between Over-Balance and UnderBalance?
The amount of pressure in the wellbore that exceeds the pressure of fluids in the formation;This excess pressure is needed to prevent reservoir fluids (oil, gas, water) from entering the wellbore
Is Water clean?
Because the water we get is from the reservoir. A reservoir is a reserved lake for tap water and drinking.
