[a] The well was immense—16 feet across and 112 feet deep—blasted largely through rock, resulting in a quarry of over 175,000 gallons of water. A steam engine had the capacity to lift nearly half a million gallons a day. An octagonal iron tank, 43 feet in diameter and 20 feet high was installed atop a 27-foot-high stone tower.

In a well designed system, the existing water in the raceway is largely replaced by new water when the same volume of new water enters the raceway. Self-cleaning can sometimes be achieved if the fish stocks density is sufficiently high and the water level is sufficiently low. For example, if trout are stocked at 20 kilograms per cubic metre ...
A dry well or drywell is an underground structure that disposes of unwanted water, most commonly surface runoff and stormwater, in some cases greywater or water used in a groundwater heat pump. It is a gravity-fed , vertical underground system that can capture surface water from impervious surfaces , then store and gradually infiltrate the ...
Some reservoirs such as this in Argos, Peloponnese are made for recreational purposes, rather than storing fresh water. A reservoir (/ ˈ r ɛ z ər v w ɑːr /; from French réservoir [ʁezɛʁvwaʁ]) is an enlarged lake behind a dam, usually built to store fresh water, often doubling for hydroelectric power generation.
The well tanks held 435 imp gal (1,980 L) of water, and the bunker held 15 long cwt (760 kg) of coke. The weight was 28.35 long tons (28.80 t) in working order. [5] Originally used around London, two moved to Woking by 1866 and the other one to Guildford. Later they were used at Salisbury, and one was eventually at Bournemouth.
Churchill tanks on the Dieppe beach. The Y-shaped pipes on the rear decking are exhaust pipe extensions to allow deep wading. Although Duplex Drive allowed landing craft to release tanks farther from shore, the alternative deep wading gear permitted a tank to drive partially or completely underwater on the sea floor rather than swim.
The Rushmore Reviews is a service provided by IHS Markit that collects, analyzes and publishes offset well data for participating operators in the petroleum industry. The content of their extensive, global database is exclusively available to Review participants, who are then able to use the shared data to benchmark their own performance ...
