Intake Tower

Description

An intake tower is a free-standing tower inside a water reservoir.

It is a typical intake structure of a drinking water reservoir. By means of inlets at different heights of the intake tower, pumps and pipes, raw water is removed from the reservoir for the further treatment to produce drinking water.

The top of the intake tower is located above the waterline and is often accessible via a bridge.

Mapping

Set a point or draw the outline .

A bridge to the shore is drawn as a way over a bridge and connected with the tower.

An intake tower can also be connected directly to the dam. In this case it is tagged with building:part=yes.

The total height of the tower (over the bottom of the reservoir) is not tagged, even if it is known. This would lead to misrepresentation in many maps. See below for an alternative way of tagging height information.
