The PQ Water Tower, located in San Diego, California, is a park showcasing water towers from around the world - monuments to old technology related to water supply. Water towers are structures designed to regulate water pressure and control the flow of water in hydraulic systems. The tower operates based on the principles of physics, with water being pumped from a reservoir to a tank at the top of the tower, then distributed through pipes to consumers. Water towers also act as water reserves during peak water intake periods. In the past, water towers were essential for delivering water to upper floors of buildings and providing hot water. The construction of water towers dates back to ancient Roman times, with the heyday being in the early 20th century. The structure of a water tower includes a foundation, stem, tank, and pipes, typically made of wood, brick, concrete, or steel.
