The century old (1909) overhead steel tank is 1.34041 lakh square feet in area having a depth of 16 feet. It is the largest overhead tank in the world built by the British engineers. The massive water reservoir contains nine million gallons of filtered water and is placed 110 feet above the ground. In those days most of the buildings in the city were two or three storeys high. Besides, it was the first point of city's water supply distribution system. The unique feature of the tank is that no separate pipe lines for filling up and delivery. The pipe that fills the tank also used for delivery. Hence, the overhead tank serves role of balancing tank. When underground tank at Tallah is spilled over with the incoming supply from Pulta water works( 24 km upstream of Calcutta) the surplus water is stored in the overhead tank and again when the water level in the underground tank dwindles it compensates the for the loss due to distribution. It seems to be that in order to add pressure to the gravitational flow of the water the overhead tank was placed at a height.

When filling a scuba tank from a high pressure reservoir the air goes from a high pressure reservoir to a low pressure reservoir so the air expands into the scuba tank. Shouldnt this cool the tank?
Think on it a bit closer: -- The expansion is happening in the high-pressure reservoir, as some of the air leaves and the rest expands to fill the volume. So you'd expect the supply tank to cool as it empties. -- The compression is happening in the SCUBA tank, where you're continuously stuffing more and more air into the same volume. So you expect the SCUBA tank to warm as it fills.
