Training Objectives. To gain an understanding of: The purpose of water storage. The differences between various types of storage facilities. How storage facilities are constructed. Water Storage. Purposes of Water Storage:
A water distribution system comprises several key components, each playing a vital role in ensuring the efficient delivery of water: Water Sources: The system begins with water sources, which can include surface water (rivers, lakes, reservoirs) and groundwater (wells, aquifers).
The groundwater transmission and storage properties of geologic formations including aquifers and confining units can be described by three hydrogeologic terms: transmissivity, T; specific storage, Ss; and storativity, S. Transmissivity.

Distribution or service reservoirs are used in a distribution system to provide storage to meet fluctuations in demand of water, to provide storage for firefighting and emergencies such as breakdowns, repairs, etc., and to stabilize pressures in the distribution system.

- 4.9 BID DOCUMENTS. Design of large tanks, standpipes, and reservoirs, especially prestressed concrete structures and elevated tanks, is complex, demanding a wide range of special and unique knowledge and experience. Subsequently the majority of the water storage structures may be bid using performance specifications requiring the bidding contractor to prepare detailed designs and specifications. Whether construction drawings and specifications or performance specifications or prepared for bids, thethe owner, is responsible for providing specific information to the contractor. The owner's and engineer's responsibilities are given in the applicable AWWA standards and manuals. The contractor is expected to be aware of AWWA standards and federal laws but the bid document must provide local codes and regulations or more stringent loading criteria (water, snow, wind and live loads). Other information to be incorporated in bid documents include:

The volume of persistence storage needed is a function of the capacity of the supplying mains to the reservoir. There are peaks in demands associated with both no-failure and failure events. Emergency storage and fire-fighting storage are failure types of persistence storage.
