Water Tower
The design

A water tower is a large elevated water storage container. The term tower speaks to its elevation and is constructed for the purpose of holding a supply of water at a height sufficient to pressurize a water supply distribution system.

The carafe has a generous opening at the top, which makes it very quick and easy to fill with water and ice. The carafe can be made stackable for more efficient storage.
