The Earliest Documented Water Features of the Historical Past
The Earliest Documented Water Features of the Historical Past Water fountains were at first practical in function, used to deliver water from rivers or springs to towns and hamlets, supplying the residents with clean water to drink, wash, and prepare food with.
To make water flow through a fountain until the late 1800’s, and create a jet of water, mandated the force of gravity and a water source such as a spring or reservoir, situated higher than the fountain. Inspirational and spectacular, prominent water fountains have been constructed as monuments in many civilizations. If you saw the earliest fountains, you would not recognize them as fountains. The 1st accepted water fountain was a stone basin created that served as a receptacle for drinking water and ceremonial purposes. The first stone basins are thought to be from around 2000 BC. The force of gravity was the power source that controlled the earliest water fountains. Drinking water was delivered by public fountains, long before fountains became ornate public monuments, as beautiful as they are practical. Fountains with flowery decoration began to appear in Rome in approx. 6 BC, normally gods and wildlife, made with stone or bronze. Water for the community fountains of Rome was brought to the city via a complex system of water aqueducts.
