  1. Underground vs Overhead Water Tanks: Which is best for you? Whether you’re building a home or a commercial property, water storage solutions are always amongst the most important considerations. Two solutions that are widely available and immediately come to mind: Underground water tanks and overhead water tanks. But each of these come with their own pros and cons. Read on to answer the question: Which is the best water tank in India? Underground Water Tanks These are plastic water tanks placed below the ground. Pros 1.Space: They save space and so they are ideal for establishments where space is limited 2.Aesthetic: They are also a popular choice when aesthetic appeal is taken into consideration. Since they are out of sight, they create a clean look. 3.Better temperature control: Being underground helps them maintain a steady temperature, especially suited for extreme weather conditions. 4.Larger capacity: These water tanks can be crafted for large sizes, making them a perfect fit for large commercial establishments, agricultural properties etc Cons: 1.Cost: One of the biggest issues with underground water tanks is the installation cost which can be significantly higher due to the tedious nature of it. The ground will have to be excavated, structural support will have to be added and this adds a lot of cost to your plans. 2.Difficult maintenance: Since the tank is not easily accessible, it is a lot more difficult to clean, repair or even inspect them. 3.Higher risk: If this tank is not properly built and sealed, groundwater could seep in. There is also a risk of flooding during heavy rains.

  2. Overhead Water Tanks These tanks are placed on rooftops or elevated structures. This is the most common option for Indian houses and buildings. Pros: 1.Cost effective: They are cost effective due to the lack of civil work that’s needed for underground water tanks 2.Easier to manage: They are relatively easier to install and repair if issues come up 3.Gravity-based water supply: There is no need for pressurised systems because of its elevated location. This allows gravity to do the work to provide pressurised water supply. 4.Multiple design options: If aesthetics is a concern, these water tanks are available in a variety of colours. Cons: 1.Aesthetic appeal: This could lead to visual clutter affecting the outdoor look and aesthetic of the house 2.Temperature: Due to their exposed nature, they can be affected by temperature fluctuations What factors should you consider? Before making a decision, there are some factors that are important to consider no matter the type of water tank you want. 1.Quality: The best quality water tanks are the ones that will survive the test of time and last long - no matter the placement 2.Space: Limited space or aesthetic issues could be a huge factor while making this decision 3.Water usage: If there is a continuous, high need for water - Overhead water tanks would be better due to their gravity based water supply.
