metric unit
The mass of any coin is typically measured in grams; the capacity or volume would be measured in millilitres.
Since water towers generally have a very large capacity, I would say that cubic meters might be the best bet. You can measure the total volumetric capacity of the water tower in cubic meters and then determine the volume of water that is currently in the water tower. However, an amount of water can also be measured in liters.
Grams or litres - depending on whether you wanted its mass or volume.

The two most commonly used metric units for measuring the capacity of cans of drinks are milliliter (mL) and centiliter (cL). As their names suggest, mL is a thousandth of a Liter and a cL is a hundredth of a Litre. Litre is the metric unit of measurement of volume.
Liters would be easiest to use.
You would use millimeters for the measure of the capacity of a paper cup.

Probably none because a stream does not have a capacity but a rate of flow.
To measure pop cans in Canada, we use mililitres (ml)

it depends on how big the raindrops are, but I would use millilitres. 👍
