Go to Europe - they are everywhere (esp France)
Go to the US - every town has one
Where are they in the UK? and if we can manage without them - why cant the rest of the world?

We do have them, just not many.
It's nowt to do with climate. Their purpose is to presurise the supply system. We have resevoirs on top of hills and they may be on the roofs of building in cities which creates enough pressure in most areas. I'd bet you'll see them in flatter areas such as east anglia.

There are quite a lot of them dotted around the Norfolk countryside. I guess our water supplies are a lot less visible than in others parts of the world - it is transported via underground pipes.

Poole has one towards Canford Heath. But mostly our water is in large resevoirs. Rainfall tends to exceed supply. But recently that has been close.

Because although its always raining, we haven't got any water to put in them, so we sold them all to the French.

There is one just outside of Felixstowe, and one just outside of Lowestoft.
