The Water Features

The Water FeaturesWater Features 16434154239.jpg Towns and communities depended on functional water fountains to channel water for cooking, washing, and cleaning up from nearby sources like ponds, channels, or springs. Gravity was the power supply of water fountains up until the end of the nineteenth century, using the potent power of water traveling down hill from a spring or creek to squeeze the water through spigots or other outlets. Inspirational and spectacular, big water fountains have been built as memorials in most cultures. The contemporary fountains of today bear little likeness to the first water fountains. Uncomplicated stone basins sculpted from local stone were the original fountains, used for spiritual functions and drinking water. 2,000 BC is when the earliest identified stone fountain basins were used. The jet of water emerging from small spouts was pressured by gravity, the lone power source designers had in those days. Drinking water was provided by public fountains, long before fountains became decorative public monuments, as attractive as they are practical. Fountains with flowery decoration began to appear in Rome in approximately 6 B.C., normally gods and creatures, made with stone or copper-base alloy. The Romans had an elaborate system of aqueducts that supplied the water for the many fountains that were placed throughout the community.
