Insulation
Use an insulative material like a shiny silver sheet to wrap around your tank so that it absorbs less heat and stays cool.

White Paint
White paint has high albedo which makes it reflect the most heat which strikes on it. This way it keeps the temperature cool.

Use Shade
If possible place the tank under a shade. You can get a canopy installed so that it is protected from direct sunlight.

Regular Water Change
Changing water frequently can get the heated water out and when refilled with fresh water it can keep the overall temperature low.

Get It Underground
When the water tank is kept underground, it is away from any sunlight and the earth naturally keeps the water cool.

Plant Greenery
Growing plants around the water tank can effectively keep the water cool by providing a natural shade and a cooling effect.

Use Ice
You can also try putting some ice in the tanker to keep the water cool. Though this is not feasible but can be done on certain occasions.
