Water supply designing (Over head water storage tank)

Hello.. Do any one guide me about the benefits of "Tree shaped water storage over head reservoir" in water supply system. also how its geometrical volume (water storage capacity) can be calculated???

  • Hello Waqas,

    Are you asking a general question on tanks, or are you asking how to model this type of tank in a Bentley product such as WaterCAD or WaterGEMS? For modeling a tank whose cross sectional area varies with level, you can use the "Variable area" option in the "section" dropdown in the tank properties, then define the table of Depth ratio vs. volume ratio. For more on this, see the wiki article: How is a variable area tank cross section curve setup? What is the relative depth/volume based on?

    If this does not help, could you please clarify your question? If you are looking for general advice on modeling a certain type of tank, please refer to a diagram/document if possible and identify any specific problem you have with the calculation.
