Probably the Romans. Not sure about water towers but they built some serious aqueducts to bring water to Rome.
Why are water towers elevated so high while petroleum tanks are on the ground?
Because water towers are a cheap, reliable way of generating enough pressure to get the water into your house--not an issue with petroleum tanks. If you didn't have towers you'd have to use pumps, and buying enough pumps to meet peak demand would be prohibitively expensive for most towns. Towers simplify matters. You pump water up at a steady rate and gravity does all the work getting it down. Since the pressure is a function of the height of the column of water inside the tower, and since the height of that column doesn't diminish appreciably until the tank is virtually empty, the pressure stays steady regardless of fluctuations in supply and/or demand.
Why are water towers off the ground?
To get water to flow over a large area without having to use pumps. You may have noticed these are more prominent in small communities.
How do you increase water pressure in a model water tower?
Water pressure in real towers is created by the height of the tower above the surface of the earth, and the diameter of the pipe supplying the water to the output. The same should hold true for a model water tower.

What are the two types of air flow patterns commonly used in cooling towers?
The two types of air flow patterns commonly used in cooling towers are counterflow and crossflow. In counterflow towers, the air flows upward against the falling water, while in crossflow towers, the air flows horizontally across the falling water. Both types of cooling towers are designed to maximize the exchange of heat between the air and the water.
