  2. Dry well - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_well

    A sump in a basement can be built in dry well form, allowing the sump pump to cycle less frequently (handling only occasional peak demand). A French drain can resemble a horizontal dry well that is not covered. A larger open pit or artificial swale that receives stormwater and dissipates it into the ground is called an infiltration basin or ...

  3. Infiltration basin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiltration_basin

    Recently completed infiltration basin for stormwater collection. An infiltration basin (or recharge basin) is a form of engineered sump [1] or percolation pond [2] that is used to manage stormwater runoff, prevent flooding and downstream erosion, and improve water quality in an adjacent river, stream, lake or bay.

  4. Sump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sump

    The sump sits below the main tank and is used as a filter, as well as a holding place of unsightly equipment such as heaters and protein skimmers. The main advantage of having a sump plumbed into an aquarium is the increase of water in the system, making it more stable and less prone to fluctuations of pH and salinity.

  5. Cistern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cistern

    At the beginning of the flush cycle, as the water level in the toilet cistern tank drops, the flush valve flapper falls back to the bottom, stopping the main flow to the flush tube. Because the tank water level has yet to reach the fill line, water continues to flow from the tank and bowl fill tubes.

  6. Storage tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_tank

    COT – crude oil tanks. PIT – product and intermediate storage tanks. DISPATCH – dispatch area tanks. UTILITIES – tanks in a power plant area, for storage of water, etc. ISBL – inside-battery-limit tankages. These are usually small tanks found in the production units of a refinery, such as neutralization tanks, water tanks, etc.

  7. Water supply network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_network

    Water storage facilities such as reservoirs, water tanks, or water towers. Smaller water systems may store the water in cisterns or pressure vessels . Tall buildings may also need to store water locally in pressure vessels in order for the water to reach the upper floors.

  8. Water tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_tank

    An elevated water tank, also known as a water tower, will create a pressure at the ground-level outlet of 1 kPa per 10.2 centimetres (4.0 in) or 1 psi per 2.31 feet (0.70 m) of elevation. Thus a tank elevated to 20 metres creates about 200 kPa and a tank elevated to 70 feet creates about 30 psi of discharge pressure, sufficient for most ...

  9. Sump pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sump_pump

    Sump pumps are used where basement flooding may otherwise happen, and to solve dampness where the water table is near or above the foundation of a structure. Sump pumps send water away from a location to any place where it is no longer problematic, such as a municipal storm drain, a dry well, or simply an open-air site downhill from the building (sometimes called "pumping to daylight").
