Water towers between Oristano and Cabras In the region between Oristano and Cabras on Sardinia you come across striking, mushroom-shaped towers that are up to 20 meters high. They seem mysterious at first, but they have a very practical function: they are modern water towers. Contrary to what many people believe, water towers are not used to store large quantities of water, but rather to maintain a constant water pressure in the pipe network. This also applies, for example, to the column-like tower at Stagno Sale 'e Porcus, which regulates the pressure in the network. In many Italian regions you can see similar structures, which are often underestimated due to their shape. Despite the striking design, the real benefit lies in the technical background - the increase in pressure ensures that water is evenly distributed and reaches all households.
