When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

water tower
(seria o caso das caixas d'água da empresa de saneamento, por exemplo, que costumam ser instaladas em torres)
A water tower, watershed, or elevated water tower is a large elevated water storage container. The term tower speaks to its elevation and is constructed for the purpose of holding a supply of water at a height sufficient to pressurize a water supply distribution system.
The users of the water supply (a town, factory, or just a building) need to have water pressure to maintain the safety of the water supply.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_tower
caixa d'água é um tanque destinado a armazenar água para consumo humano ou agrícola.
Caixas d'água de empresas de saneamento (distribuidoras de água) ou instalações particulares muito grandes (a partir de dezenas de milhares de litros) são denominadas reservatórios. Podem ser construídas abaixo (reservatório enterrado) ou acima do solo (reservatório elevado ou castelo d'água), neste caso em edificação própria e isolada, geralmente no alto de morros ou de edificações.
