Dear all, Thanks for all the comments, here I answer some of the questions: - There is no necessity to follow any cods in Iraq, there is no national code for fire. - The AHJ is Fire Department, they don't have any knowledge about fire sprinklers and they let us design as we wish. - There is no central monitoring. - I suppose that in case of fire, it takes about 15 minutes for fire departments to come.
In the US public water supply is adequate for fire protection in most of the big cities and you never have to consider such a big water tank for every office building. While our public water supply is not enough and only available 5 hours a day and doesn't have the pressure even to go to the first floor!
