Outdoor Water Features Lost to History

Outdoor Water Features Lost to History Water fountains were initially practical in purpose, used to convey water from canals or springs to cities and villages, providing the residents with clean water to drink, wash, and prepare food with. In the days before electrical power, the spray of fountains was driven by gravity exclusively, often using an aqueduct or water resource located far away in the nearby hills. Striking and spectacular, prominent water fountains have been designed as memorials in nearly all civilizations. If you saw the first fountains, you probably would not identify them as fountains. Crafted for drinking water and ceremonial purposes, the 1st fountains were very simple carved stone basins. Natural stone basins are thought to have been 1st used around 2000 BC. The first fountains used in ancient civilizations depended on gravity to control the flow of water through the fountain. Outdoor Water Features Lost History 758806064407100.jpg

These original water fountains were created to be functional, frequently situated along reservoirs, creeks and rivers to provide drinking water. Fountains with ornate decoration started to appear in Rome in about 6 BC, commonly gods and wildlife, made with stone or copper-base alloy. A well-designed system of reservoirs and aqueducts kept Rome's public water fountains supplied with fresh water.

Acqua Vergine: The Remedy to Rome's Water Problems

Acqua Vergine: The Remedy to Rome's Water Problems Previous to 273, when the 1st elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was made in Rome, citizens who lived on hills had to travel even further down to get their water from natural sources. During this period, there were only two other techniques capable of supplying water to elevated areas, subterranean wells and cisterns, which gathered rainwater. Starting in the sixteenth century, a newer strategy was introduced, using Acqua Vergine’s subterranean sections to provide water to Pincian Hill. The aqueduct’s channel was made reachable by pozzi, or manholes, that were installed along its length when it was first designed. During the some 9 years he owned the residence, from 1543 to 1552, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi utilized these manholes to take water from the channel in buckets, though they were actually designed for the function of maintaining and servicing the aqueduct. Apparently, the rainwater cistern on his property wasn’t enough to meet his needs. Via an opening to the aqueduct that flowed below his property, he was able to reach his water demands.
