Tom:
3 vids.  The last one is very interesting.  The diver is 120' in the air, in a water tank but submersed in 40' of water.   :shocked:

John Croucher:
Local water Company cleaned 6 feet of mud out of the water tower recently.  Our water is not filtered, just treated. 

Old Jock:
Gravity can be useful

The Victorians knew how to build these things and make them look good

Here's a disused one, originally built for an isolation hospital that is a couple of miles from where I live.

When I was in high school we would go swimming in a water tower, mostly at night so not to get caught. Total darkness inside.
