Abstract
The paper examines one of the major issues concerning Ukraine’s water resources ‒ ensuring uninterrupted water supply under conditions of increasing loads on the country’s water supply infrastructure caused by its deterioration, high accident rate, and damage resulting from military actions. The expediency of using water towers as an effective component of water supply systems capable of providing water storage and maintaining stable pressure in the network during power outages is substantiated. Modern scientific studies devoted to structural solutions of water towers are analyzed, with emphasis on optimizing their parameters in terms of reliability, seismic resistance, and economic efficiency. The main factors influencing the selection of reservoir type are considered, including purpose, structural design, material, cost, and location. Particular attention is paid to the impact of the water tower location on the efficiency of the water supply system and overall operational costs. The obtained generalizations may be used to justify the selection of the optimal structural solution for a water tower under current conditions.
