Fascinating Water Towers from Around the World
When I was a kid I always liked to watch the small lights at the top of the old water tower in our neighborhood. There was something mesmerizing and enigmatic in that tower. And I’m sure that there are many people who still like staring at these miracles of engineering. It is interesting to know that usually, the water tower has a minimum height of approximately 20ft (6 meters) and a minimum of 13ft (4m) in diameter. There are huge varieties of materials that can be used for water tower construction though the most popular ones are steel and bricks. Most of these towers that we’ve featured in our post were built 80-100 years ago and now they are all considered architectural landmarks and monuments. Let’s take a look at these beautiful buildings that have united excellent aesthetic values and public benefits.
