The water tanks can be used as the elements of the scientific or military base

One silly idea of the Flint water tower is that this same structure can be used at the structures, what are located in the underwater position. Those structures could be scientific or military bases, where the crew lives in the underwater conditions. That structure would have similar purposes, what was used in the AQUARIUS-station near Florida, but that would be larger and give more sophisticated room for the persons, who live and work in there. The use of those structures is that they could use to make intelligence operations in the below surface. And those water tanks, where those persons live can also be used for scientific operations, like developing military systems, what those organizations don't want to show people.

There is a military AUTEC (Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center) base at the Bahamas, but there are rumors, that there are other more secretive underwater bases what U.S Navy operates. And also Russians and Chinese would have that kind of structures. The thing is that those bases offer perfect information security for the operating organizations and the AUTEC would be the perfect place to test the person's ability to keep the information in their own mind. And if they are earned the trust, would they trip go to the next level. But this is only speculation. Below the text links to Wikipedia pages of AQUARIUS and AUTEC stations, and you can look for information about those bases from the net.

They can also be used in the simulations, what should be done before manned Mars flight, and also they offer a very highly secured area for many other things. The underwater tanks, what are filled with air, can transfer to the operational point by using cargo ships, and they can drop in the deep. Actually, those ships can pull those structures in underwater position, and that makes very hard to notice them from the surface. In those cases, the pontons and weights would adjust like that the tank would be lying just under the water.

The center pylon can be used for the making electric power to that station, and the water goes through the pylon and gives the electric power to that very interesting underwater base. Those tanks can also be used in the future for creating the space stations to Moon and Mars in the distant future. And the idea is that this same shape of structure could be useful to establish stations in the South Pole, and other places, where station must be above the Earth. The idea of that structure in those cases is, that there would not be forming a snowdrift on the walls because snow can go through pylons, and if they are covered by Teflon, the animals cannot climb to the base. They can also be located in the swamp area, where deluges cause problems. The water can travel through the pylons and the crew would stay dry. But as you know, those were only the thoughts, how useful that shape could be.
