How do you stop water coming out of your cold tap in the kitchen when i have turned the water off at the mains?
Without knowing what you are trying to do, advice is tricky, but it seems that you have not switched the mains off. In the UK it would be illegal, but there is a slim chance that the cold tap is not connected to the rising main, in which case, that explains the flow, and the tank must be drained

What is faucet water?

What causes a water pressure drop in the shower when someone turns another faucet on?
If you assume that the water entering your house in the mains pipe is at a constant pressure (this is a relatively good assumption) then the more outlets you give for it to flow from, the lower the flow rate from each one. Say you are supplied 1 litre per second and your shower is using all of this. Now, turn a tap on to 0.3 litres per second and there is 0.7 litres per second coming from the shower head. Showers are often upstairs and kitchens downstairs, so if the tap in question is in the kitchen then the effect will be greater than if they were both on level. The pressure of the water in the kitchen tap is made larger by the head of water pushing down from upstairs, and when both are turned on, the kitchen tap can "steal" more of the shower's water than a bathroom tap would when twisted the same amount.
How do we tell if the leak in the kitchen ceiling is coming from the bathroom or the roof?

Glacier bay kitchen faucet water comes out slow hot or cold how do you repair this?
I just brought a Glacier Bay pull down ceramic kitchen faucet Model 896408. After installing it, the cold water wasn't coming out of the faucet. It turned out the problem was the coldwater supply line inside the faucet was bent & twisted. As a result, when the body of the faucet was attached, it had to be turned just a little to position it correctly, this tighted and choked the water supply line even more- which meant "no cold water." Waiting on replacement line from Glacier Bay, which, I am certain, will correct the problem.
How is water delivered to homes in urban areas?
In urban areas, the water is pumped through water mains called force mains (large delivery pipes) and up into a water tower (also know as a constant head tank). The force of gravity then helps to send the water through street mains and secondary mains to homes, businesses, and institutions.
