Water towers use the gravitational head to provide constant pressure. A pump is used to pump the water up to the water tower. If a pump was the only means to provide pressure, the pressure at your faucet would be highly variable. The outlet flow rate of a pump is limited, so it wouldn't be able to keep up with short term fluctuations in water consumption. You could build a pump system that would instantaneously keep up with varying demand, but it would be big and expensive. Instead, a small pump is used to deliver the water to the top of the water tower at a more or less constant rate. When the water is up in the tank, the pressure at the bottom of the water tower is more or less constant, equal to density*gravity*height.

How do nuclear cooling towers work to regulate the temperature of nuclear power plants?
Nuclear cooling towers work by releasing excess heat from the nuclear power plant into the atmosphere. Water is used to cool down the hot water from the reactor, which then evaporates and releases heat through the tower. This process helps regulate the temperature of the nuclear power plant and prevent overheating.
