Gravity. The tower is placed high so that gravity will create pressure and force water through pipes without any mechanical assistance.
To give the water potential energy. The water can flow down hill without using pumps.
It creats water pressure. Water flows from a higher place to lower place without a pump using only gravity. Once the water levels are the same you'd need a pump to transfer the remainder of H2O. The higher the start the faster the flow ( until you reach the force of gravity) and thus the better pressure coming to your home and faster the shampoo is rinsed out of your hair.

Why the tallah tank is placed so high?

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.


A rectangular tank measures 150cm x 100cm x 50cm it is filled with water to a height of 30cm an object is placed in the tank the water is now at the height of 36.2cm what is the volume of the object?

If the object hsa sunk the volume is equal to the volume of water displaced If the tank is 50 cm high, the volume is 150x100x (36.2-30) = 93000 cubic centimeters


Why is the water level too high in the toilet tank?

The water level in the toilet tank is too high because the float valve is not shutting off the water flow properly.


Why is the water level in the toilet tank too high?

The water level in the toilet tank may be too high due to a faulty fill valve or a problem with the float mechanism. This can cause excess water to flow into the tank, leading to an elevated water level.
