 +====== Water Towers ======
 +
 +AOFS Water Towers provide **validated reference designs** for gravity-fed water storage and distribution systems within AOFS-compliant farms.  
 +
 +This page organizes the available water tower reference blueprints and provides guidance on their use.
 +
 +===== Purpose =====
 +
 +  * Centralized reference location for AOFS Water Tower designs  
 +  * Facilitates reproducible construction in off-grid or low-resource environments  
 +  * Demonstrates safe and operationally robust water storage solutions  
 +  * Serves as a training and deployment reference for smallholder, commercial, or NGO farms  
 +
 +---
 +
 +===== Water Tower Reference Blueprints =====
 +
 +The following reference designs are documented under AOFS:
 +
 +  * [[reference_implementations:water_towers:wt_5m_brick]] – Locally-built masonry tower with 5,000 L capacity  
 +  * [[reference_implementations:infrastructure:water_towers:wt_8m_steel]] – Locally-built steel tower with 5,000 L capacity
 +  * [[reference_implementations:infrastructure:water_towers:wt_10m_concrete]] – Locally-built concrete tower with 50,000 L capacity
 +
 +Each blueprint page includes:
 +
 +    * Functional purpose and intended deployment context  
 +    * Structural design and construction notes  
 +    * Hydraulic layout and pipe integration  
 +    * Safety considerations and failure modes  
 +    * Manual operation and bypass pathways  
 +    * Integration points with AOFS Field Controllers  
 +
 +---
 +
 +===== Usage Guidance =====
 +
 +  * Reference designs are **non-normative**. Compliance with AOFS is determined by adherence to control, safety, and data standards, **not replication of physical structures**.  
 +  * Local engineering approval and adherence to building codes remain the responsibility of the implementing entity.  
 +  * Designers and farmers may adapt materials, dimensions, or construction methods to suit local resources and regulations, provided the functional and safety principles are maintained.
