Fountains for Compact Areas
Fountains for Compact Areas Since water is reflective, it has the effect of making a small space appear bigger than it is. Water features such as fountains benefit from the reflective characteristics stemming from dark materials.
When the sun goes down, you can use underwater lights in different colors and shapes to illuminate your new feature. Sunlight is indispensable to power eco-lights during the day time while underwater lights are great for night use.

A Chronicle of Outdoor Water Fountains
A Chronicle of Outdoor Water Fountains The translation of hundreds of ancient Greek documents into Latin was commissioned by the scholarly Pope Nicholas V who led the Church in Rome from 1397 until 1455. It was important for him to embellish the city of Rome to make it worthy of being called the capital of the Christian world. In 1453 the Pope instigated the reconstruction of the Aqua Vergine, an ancient Roman aqueduct which had carried clean drinking water into the city from eight miles away. The ancient Roman custom of building an awe-inspiring commemorative fountain at the point where an aqueduct arrived, also known as a mostra, was restored by Nicholas V. The architect Leon Battista Alberti was commissioned by the Pope to put up a wall fountain where we now find the Trevi Fountain. The Trevi Fountain as well as the well-known baroque fountains located in the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza Navona were eventually supplied with water from the modified aqueduct he had rebuilt.
