[TowerTalk] Mounting a Tower in Area Subject to Flooding

If a a tower is encased in concrete I'm sure it is frequently wet, but I am
guessing that the lack of oxygen in the concrete inhibits rust. If I put a
tower in an area subject to periodic flooding, should I build a form above
ground for a couple of feet to make the concrete base rise enough above
ground to protect the tower? (Salt water.)
