    Water Tanks Provide Continuous Flow Of Learning And Healthcare

    Universities have a high demand for water to support daily operations such as sanitation, cleaning, and food preparation in student housing facilities. Adequate water supply ensures that these essential services can function smoothly, maintaining a hygienic and comfortable environment for students, faculty, and staff.
