2.4.3 Storage Tanks


Location of Example:	152^o50'43" East, 25^o17'16" South
Distinctive Characteristics:	Storage Tanks appear as circular elevated features, this is evident by the shadow signature. Storage Tanks may or may not have an enclosed roof. Storage Tanks can sometimes be distinguished from Water tanks/Water Towers because they are typically found in industrial/commercial areas rather than within residential/urban areas. Numerous Storage Tanks are typically concentrated in one area, whereas Water Tanks/Water Towers tend to be more solitary.
