The Positive Benefits of installing a garden fountain in Your Living SpacePositive Benefits installing garden fountain Living Space 830049350.jpg The inclusion of a wall fountain or an outdoor garden fountain is an excellent way to adorn your yard or garden design. A myriad of current designers and fountain craftsmen have found ideas in the fountains and water features of the past. You can also strengthen the link to the past by incorporating one of these to your home's interior design. In addition to the positive characteristics of garden fountains, they also generate water and moisture which goes into the air, thereby, attracting birds as well as other creatures and harmonizing the environment. Flying, annoying insects, for instance, are frightened off by the birds congregating near the fountain or birdbath.

Wall fountains are a good choice if your yard is small because they do not need much space in comparison to a spouting or cascading fountain. Two possibilities to choose from include either a freestanding type with an even back set against a fence or wall in your backyard, or a wall-mounted, self-contained type which hangs on a wall. Adding a fountain to an existing wall requires that you include a fountain mask as well as a basin at the base to collect the water. Be sure to work with a specialist for this type of job since it is better not to do it yourself due to the intricate plumbing and masonry work required.

Water Transport Solutions in Ancient Rome

Water Transport Solutions Ancient Rome 39705201439062.jpg Water Transport Solutions in Ancient Rome Previous to 273, when the 1st elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was established in Roma, inhabitants who dwelled on hillsides had to go further down to get their water from natural sources. If people living at higher elevations did not have access to springs or the aqueduct, they’d have to be dependent on the remaining existing techniques of the time, cisterns that collected rainwater from the sky and subterranean wells that drew the water from below ground. From the early sixteenth century, water was routed to Pincian Hill via the underground channel of Acqua Vergine. Pozzi, or manholes, were made at standard stretches along the aqueduct’s channel. Although they were initially designed to make it possible to service the aqueduct, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi started using the manholes to collect water from the channel, starting when he bought the property in 1543. Even though the cardinal also had a cistern to amass rainwater, it couldn't produce a sufficient amount of water. Fortunately, the aqueduct sat just below his property, and he had a shaft opened to give him accessibility.
