Because they generally rely on gravity to generate the necessary water pressure, water tanks are situated at the highest point of the building, with their size and volume scaled to the number of occupants. Furthermore, they must be easily accessible for routine cleaning and maintenance. These characteristics, while essential for proper operation, often present a major design challenge when integrating them into a project.
