Pressure in city watermains pushes water into homes and buildings, reaching to every tap. If there was no pressure then how would you wash your hands or have a shower ?

Also, how would firemen fight fires ?

At Niagara falls not all of the water goes over the falls. Some is diverted into large pipes and drops down with great pressure to a powerhouse on the lower river, turning giant turbines and creating hydro-electricity.
