Water Garden Fountains Lost to History

Water Garden Fountains Lost History 0942012871.jpg Water Garden Fountains Lost to History The water from creeks and other sources was initially provided to the residents of nearby towns and cities through water fountains, whose purpose was largely practical, not aesthetic. In the years before electrical power, the spray of fountains was powered by gravity exclusively, often using an aqueduct or water supply located far away in the surrounding hills. Fountains spanning history have been developed as memorials, impressing hometown citizens and visitors alike. If you saw the first fountains, you would not identify them as fountains. Created for drinking water and ceremonial functions, the first fountains were very simple carved stone basins. 2,000 BC is when the oldest known stone fountain basins were originally used. The jet of water appearing from small jets was forced by gravity, the sole power source builders had in those days. Located near reservoirs or creeks, the practical public water fountains supplied the local populace with fresh drinking water. Fountains with flowery decoration began to appear in Rome in about 6 B.C., normally gods and wildlife, made with natural stone or bronze. The people of Rome had an elaborate system of aqueducts that provided the water for the countless fountains that were located throughout the city.
