Reservoirs are built on high ground to take advantage of gravity and the effect it has on the water stored up there. Gravity pulls down on the water, and no pumps are required to pressurize a water main hooked up to that reservoir. Yes, pumps are needed to lift the water, but the storage unit can be replenished as required. That translates to intermittant operation of the pump. The gravity fed water main is constantly pressurized by the pull of the earth on the water. A better idea from civil engineers. And a no brainer when one thinks about it.

Why are large reservoirs not built near cities?
Large reservoirs are typically not built near cities due to concerns about land use, environmental impact, and potential flooding risks. Urban areas often have high population densities, making it challenging to find suitable locations that minimize displacement and ecological disruption. Additionally, the construction and maintenance of reservoirs can lead to water quality issues, which are particularly concerning in populated regions. Lastly, logistical and economic factors, such as the cost of infrastructure to transport water from remote reservoirs, often make it more feasible to develop water sources further from urban centers.
