A water tower will be built to store water produced for needed fire flow. The design of the water tank will be cylindrical with a bottom radius of 50 ft. The service area has 20 one-story warehouses; all warehouses are noncombustible structures, and their average floor area is 0.50 acre. The sum of exposure and communication factors is 0.60 for each warehouse. What will be the needed fire flow (in GPM)? What will be the volume of water (in m3) that needs to be produced and stored in the water tank? What will be the gage pressure (in psi) at the bottom of the water tank?
