| The leading trade paper in Sweden VA-tidskriften Cirkulation has a series about water towers under the headline Ebers vattentorn (Eber's Water Towers). Here are the same pictures and texts (translated) of interesting water towers in the world except Scania and Sweden, as in the journal. |

Cirkulation 1/2026 A free translation to English: On a hill in the northeastern suburbs of the Scottish city of Glasgow, Britain's largest and second largest water tower stands side by side. The two cylindrical reinforced concrete towers, with marked bands around the reservoir section, are designed by Frank A Macdonald and Partners. The tallest tower, Garthamlock, was built in 1956-58 and carries with its 24 pillars, 30 meters high, up the reservoir containing 4,500 m³ of water. The lower tower, Craigend was built in 1966 and where 12 pillars, 12 meters high support the reservoir. The towers may be the UK's largest, but would not qualify for a corresponding Swedish tower list.

Cirkulation 2/2026 A free translation to English: When the writer on May 1, 1985, approached the city of Neustrelitz in the GDR from the north a city halfway between Saßnitz and Berlin, the city's water tower was seen in the distance. In his red SAAB 900, he passed a Soviet guard and a military camp, but the tower was lost sight of shortly thereafter. To take aim at the tower again, the car turned around, first north and then south, and had two new encounters with the soldier. The tower had disappeared again. Passing the soldier again was inappropriate, so the journey went to a folk festival. Finally, the tower was found on Walter-Ulbricht-Straße, a name that was then obsolete in the GDR.

Cirkulation 3/2026 A free translation to English: Watermelons are a cucumber plant that normally contains about 90 percent water, but the large watermelon melon in the city of Luling in southern Texas, 80 miles south of the Texas capital Austin, contains 100 percent water. Luling holds a festival at the end of June - "A Watermelon Thump", where thump is the tapping of melons you can do to control its ripeness. The green and white striped water tower in Luling is 47 meters high and where the cistern has a diameter of 17 meters and a reservoir volume of 1,900 m³. To drive to the water tower, you must pass the city police station, which is safe.
