Elevated water tanks, as important structures in a modern water supply system, not only balance fluctuations in demand but also ensure a defined and largely constant water pressure at the taps in the supply area. Where the topography of the terrain precludes the construction of a water tank at a high elevation, water towers take over this function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Water towers are the passion of our member Jens U. Schmidt, who, together with his co-author G\u00fcnther Bosch, is publishing a book series about water towers in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a total of 63 pages and with numerous illustrations, Nils Aschenbeck and Jens U. Schmidt present water towers from Emden to Borkum, from Bremerhaven to Augustfehn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
