ExplanationWater tanks are containers used to store water for various applications, including drinking, irrigation, fire suppression, agriculture, chemical manufacturing, and food preparation. 
There are several types of water tanks, including chemical contact, ground, and elevated water tanks. Each type of tank is designed to meet a specific need or purpose. Water tanks provide a reliable source of water for everyday use.

Water round tank volume calculator
The volume of a tank, ﻿VT​
 in meters cubed ﻿(m3)
 is given by:
﻿
VT=AB×DTV_T =A_B \times D_TVT​=AB​×DT​
Where:
﻿﻿AB​=πR2
 is the base area ﻿(m2)
 of a tank with radius, ﻿R
 
﻿﻿DT​
 is the depth ﻿(m)
 of a tank
The total capacity of a tank, ﻿QT​
 in liters ﻿(l)
 is given by:
﻿
QT=VT×1000Q_T=V_T \times 1000QT​=VT​×1000
The weight of the tank, ﻿WT​
 given in kilograms ﻿(kg)
 is given by:
﻿
WT=ρL×QTW_T=\rho_L\times Q_TWT​=ρL​×QT​
Where:
﻿﻿ρL​
 is the density of the tank's contents ﻿(kg/m3)
