Most water towers are built with two purposes in mind. One is to provide a storage facility for potable water, the other is to provide water pressure for the system. As such, the towers are typically always 'releasing' water. There are normally a couple of one way valves to insure there is no 'backwash' to contaminate the water in the tower, but the tank is providing pressure in much the same way as the tank of a toilet.
Water towers hold up the weight of the water by distributing it evenly across the entire structure. The tower's design, typically with a wide base and sturdy materials like steel or concrete, helps to support the weight vertically. The height of the tower also creates pressure in the distribution system to provide water to various locations.
1). When they're on the ground, they're called water "tanks", not "towers".
2). Water 'tanks' are used to store water until it's needed. Water 'towers' also
do that, but in addition, they deliver the water with pressure behind it, since the
water starts out at some height, and falls to the place where it's used.
They have legs or the water tower itself will hold it up. It just depends where you are because there are many different types of water towers.
