Tallest-skyscrapers. Height: 13,123 feet

Quote from bearice:

Do you have any idea the amount of electricity that will be consumed by powerful pumps to send water on top of the building?

I'm estimating roughly 212KW per 2,000 gallons but I did that in a hurry so I could be off.

How will Water be made available on top of the 13,100 feet building?

Thats easy - intermeadiate booster pumping stations at every 30/40stories.

In tall buildings the pressure provided by a municipal
water system is generally not sufficient to provide adequate
pressure at the top of the building. As an example,
municipal water systems typically provide maximum
pressures in the range of 100 to 150 psi. This translates to
buildings of 20 to 30 stories. Above this height the building
will require a water pressure booster system.
