Watertoren Watertorenplein, Water tower in Waterwijk, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The steel water tower rises 37 meters high at Watertorenplein, featuring a reservoir capacity of 1,280 cubic meters between 21 and 34 meters elevation.
Built in 1966 as the first steel water tower in the Netherlands, this structure marked the modernization of Amsterdam's water management infrastructure.
The tower stands on the former waterworks grounds along Haarlemmerweg, where Amsterdam's municipal water supply operations started in the 19th century.
Visitors can access the surrounding plaza on Waterkeringweg, which connects to residential areas and local amenities in the Waterwijk neighborhood.
The tower functions differently from traditional water towers, regulating water pressure fluctuations rather than maintaining constant pressure in the network.
