AOWIS Reference Implementation: 8 m Steel Water Tower with 5,000 L nylon tank. Designed for '''simple, locally-buildable construction''' using available materials.

This blueprint is '''non-normative''' and intended as a '''practical, low-tech reference''' for local water infrastructure.

== Functional Purpose ==

* Store 5,000 L of water in a tank elevated ~8 m for gravity-fed irrigation
* Provide reliable water supply without requiring specialized equipment
* Integrate optionally with AOWIS Field Controllers for water level monitoring

== Structural Concept ==

* 8 m high simple steel frame tower (e.g., prefabricated angles or trusses)
* Supports a standard 5,000 L nylon tank (locally available)
* Open-top tank for inspection and filling
* Integrated Ladder for maintenance
* Tank should be secured to the steel frame to resist tipping or lateral movement.
* Consider temporary ballast or partial filling if the tank will be left empty for extended periods.
* Site placement should minimize exposure to prevailing winds.
* Designed to be assembled with basic tools and local labor

== Hydraulic Layout ==

* Tank outlet supplies outlets, homes, irrigation zones by gravity
* '''Minimum water level need to be maintained for stability''', especially during strong winds
* Isolation valve allows manual control
* Optional integration with a small pump for secondary supply zones

== Safety Considerations ==

* Keep steel frame connections tight and stable
* Ladder and hatch should be used carefully
** Ladder should be protected from being accessed by children
* Ensure the frame is level and anchored for basic stability
* Empty or near-empty tanks are more susceptible to wind forces; take care during strong wind events
* Ensure tank straps, brackets, or anchoring to the frame are installed and checked regularly
* Basic manual valve operations keeps it operational during brownouts

== Manual Operation Pathways ==

* Tank filling and emptying can be done manually if electronics fail
* Simple paper-based logs or measurements supported

== Controller Integration Points ==

* Optional water level sensor for Field Controller logging
** AOWIS control can read tank level for irrigation scheduling
* Controller can enforce a minimum water level to ensure the tank remains gravity-stable against wind forces
* Controller may connect to global weather forecasts when internet is available
** High wind or storm warnings trigger alerts to the operator
** Controller can temporarily fill or maintain tank level to prevent tipping during forecasted high winds
** Irrigation may be suspended or modified to reduce risk to infrastructure
* Manual bypass always available - water supply continues even if electronics are offline
