Storage of water in building

•Overhead storage

•Underground storage
Overhead
Storage tank

• Types-
1. R.C.C. TANK
2. G.I. TANK
3. HDPE TANK

• Need-
 Underground storage tank
This storage tank are necessarily required to collect
water from municipal supply lines , if the water
pressure in the main is insufficient to reach the
overhead tank.
 Water piping systems in buildings
1. Using direct supply

2. Using overhead tank

3. Using underground-overhead tank

4. Pumped system
 Using direct supply
•Water is supplied at all floor levels

•System is suitable for developed country

•convenient to economical use

•Not necessity of storage tank or pumping sets

etc.
 Using overhead tank

In many cities, the water pressure in the municipal mains

is Sufficient to make the water reach up to 3-4 storage,
but only for a limited period in the morning and evening .
To meet the water requirement during non-supply hours,
water is stored in overhead tanks placed on the
terrace ,which are filled with a direct connection from the
mains. Supply to the kitchens is taken from the direct
main , while supply to taps for bathing and flushing etc.
is taken from the overhead tank.
 Using underground and overhead
tank supply

•Used when municipal water supply are at low

pressure.

•This system is can not used for multistoryed building.

•Domestic filter and R.O. filter are essential.

 Using pumped system

•Water distributed directly to the supply point.

•Pressure in system is boosted by pumping sets.

•Eliminate need of overhead tank.
