What forms of energy are needed to make a water run out of a faucet?
Water pressure makes the water run out of the faucet. This pressure is provided by the pumps in a city water system, or in the case of a home on a well, by the home pressure tank. This pressure tank is fed by the well pump and also has air pressure in it. Generally the water fills a large balloon (called a bladder) inside the tank, the pump then stops until the pressure drops (when the tank is nearly empty) In most home systems this is about 15 -20 gallons between each pump cycle.
