Your Outdoor Living Area: A Great Spot for a Fountain

Your Outdoor Living Area: A Great Spot for a Fountain A good way to enhance the appearance of your outdoor living area is to add a wall water feature or an exterior garden fountain to your landscaping or garden design.Outdoor Living Area: Great Spot Fountain 31518588997.jpg Any number of present-day designers and fountain artisans have found ideas in the fountains and water features of the past. You can also reinforce the link to the past by incorporating one of these to your home's interior design. In addition to the wonderful attributes of garden fountains, they also produce water and moisture which goes into the air, thereby, drawing in birds as well as other creatures and harmonizing the environment. For example, birds attracted by a fountain or birdbath can be helpful because they fend off irritating flying insects.

Putting in a wall water feature is your best option for a little garden because a spouting or cascading fountain takes up too much space. Either a stand-alone fountain with an even back and an attached basin placed against a fence or a wall, or a wall-mounted style which is self-contained and hangs on a wall, are some of the options from which you can choose. A water feature can be added to an existing wall if you include some kind of fountain mask as well as a basin to gather the water at the bottom. It is best not to undertake this job yourself as professional plumbers and masons are best suited to do this type of work.

Rome’s Early Water Transport Solutions

Rome’s Early Water Transport Solutions Aqua Anio Vetus, the first raised aqueduct founded in Rome, started supplying the men and women living in the hills with water in 273 BC, although they had counted on natural springs up until then. Outside of these aqueducts and springs, wells and rainwater-collecting cisterns were the lone techniques available at the time to supply water to spots of higher elevation.Rome’s Early Water Transport Solutions 0718427342447548.jpg To offer water to Pincian Hill in the early sixteenth century, they employed the emerging technique of redirecting the current from the Acqua Vergine aqueduct’s underground channel. As originally constructed, the aqueduct was provided along the length of its channel with pozzi (manholes) constructed at regular intervals. Even though they were initially manufactured to make it possible to support the aqueduct, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi began using the manholes to collect water from the channel, commencing when he bought the property in 1543. Although the cardinal also had a cistern to accumulate rainwater, it couldn't provide sufficient water. To provide himself with a much more effective system to gather water, he had one of the manholes exposed, giving him access to the aqueduct below his residence.
