Saw these at Eagle Bluffs Wildlife Sanctuary outside of Columbia MO. There were about 20 of them. Any ideas what they are?

They look a bit like the water towers we have in Canada.

These look like beacon towers for airline pilots - some receiving and some generating various radio frequencies utilized by pilots.

Definitely not VOR beacons. I think it's more of a pumping station of some kind for water/Oil/Natural gas???

Pumping stations or maybe wells, They all have two pipes for fluid or gas flow, with a an equipment enclosure above.

There appears to be ventilation which would indicate machinery. My guess is also pumping station. Probably underground water being pumped out to go somewhere. The square building has communications.

Ground water treatment systems to remove volatile organic contamination? Was this area formerly industrial or a landfill?

I’ve seen similar structures on the floodplain long the Missouri River at Weldon Spring Conservation Area. I’m guessing pumping stations of some sort.

They sure are not deer blinds for ranches in Texas but might be useable for that reason.

Aquifer Replenishment System injection wells. Pumping "treated" sewage into your underground aquifer, where our drinking water comes from. Doing this greatly expands the water resources available for new development!! Our tax $$$ at work.

Yep, Marvin, the Martian lives in one like this. At least he did when I was there a few weeks ago.
Aliens from other planets are too large for these.
