Generally designed to capture run-off from the surrounding landscape or rainfall. The storage of water may occur on or below ground level. Water Tank - Water Tanks are storage containers for water, usually used for human consumption and other purposes such as irrigation, agriculture, fire suppression, agricultural farming and livestock, chemical manufacturing and food preparation. Water Tanks are constructed of various materials including plastic (polyethylene or polypropylene), fiberglass, reinforced concrete, steel (welded or bolted, carbon or stainless). Those used for human consumption are generally fully enclosed. (Source - http://www.ga.gov.au/mapspecs/topographic/v6/appendixA_files/Waterbodies.html)
