Water tanks on the rooftop of an office building in midtown Manhattan in New York on Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Because water pressure in the city only reaches to six stories in order to get water to upper floors water towers are constructed for storage. Water is pumped into them during the evening when electrical costs are lower and gravity feeds the water during the day. (© Richard B. Levine)
