Question
On the basis of which principle town water supply system work? Describe the working principle briefly.
Answer
The town water supply system works on the principle of gravity and pressure. Water is stored in a water tower, which is usually located at a high point in the town. The water in the tower is held at a higher elevation than the surrounding town, creating a potential energy difference. This potential energy difference generates pressure that pushes the water through the pipes and into homes and businesses.
When a tap is opened, the pressure difference between the water in the pipes and the atmospheric pressure causes the water to flow out of the tap.
