The Water Tower (Spanish: Torre del Agua) will be a 76-metre-high tower built at the Expo 2008 site in Zaragoza designed by Enrique de Teresa and constructed of concrete, steel and glass. It is intended to be one of the main landmarks of the event.

It will consist of a transparent structure erected in a droplet-of-water shape over a big three-storey basement. It will provide 10,400 accessible square meters, 3,300 square meters in the basement’s floor and the remainder divided between the ramps and flat lands inside the glass tower. At the upper floor, there will be a 720 m2 panoramic bar with views over the exposition site and the city of Zaragoza.

During the time of the Expo 2008 , the building will host the Water for Life exposition.
