How do people living in extreme cold countries use water to keep themselves warm
Answers
Answer:
They create a conditioned space or environment which is kept continuously heated in winter months. Water is piped in utilizing the ground's natural insulating characteristics, pipes are buried below the maximum frost depth. Freeze-ups can and do occur, and result in burst pipes as the freezing of water in a confined container such as a pipe results in the pipe being forced to increase in size, which ends up being a hole where the weakest section gives way. Large city water towers hold thousands of cubic feet in water, but do not freeze due to the sheer amount of water involved and movement of the water. Pipes leading up to and from the tower may need to be insulated, as does any section of line exposed to freezing temperatures. Drinking water is kept in heated spaces. In more primitive settings, ice is thawed by fire to provide drinkable water. Water wells require either a well house that is heated or use of an underground diverter called a pitless adapter to run the water directly into underground pipes. This is a very basic explanation.
