The Benefits of Solar Powered Garden Water fountains

If you are searching for something aesthetically pleasing as well as a way to maintain your home cool, indoor wall fountains are an excellent addition. An alternative to air conditioners and evaporative coolers, they cool off your home by employing the same techniques. You can also save on your utility costs because they consume less energy.

One way to produce a cooling effect is to fan fresh, dry air across them. Either your ceiling fan or air from a corner of the room can be used to augment flow. It is crucial to ensure that air is consistently moving over the top of the water. Cool, fresh air is one of the natural byproducts of fountains and waterfalls. Merely being in the vicinity of a large public fountain or waterfall will send a sudden chill through whoever is nearby. Situating your fountain cooling system in a spot that is especially hot decreases its effectiveness. If you want an efficient cooling system, it should be far from direct sunlight.

Contemporary Garden Decoration: Outdoor Fountains and their Beginnings

Pure practicality was the original role of fountains. People in cities, towns and villages received their drinking water, as well as water to bathe and wash, via aqueducts or springs in the area. Until the late nineteenth, century most water fountains functioned using gravity to allow water to flow or jet into the air, therefore, they needed a supply of water such as a reservoir or aqueduct located higher than the fountain. Fountains were not only used as a water source for drinking water, but also to decorate homes and celebrate the artist who created it. Roman fountains usually depicted images of animals or heroes made of metal or stone masks. To illustrate the gardens of paradise, Muslim and Moorish garden planners of the Middle Ages added fountains to their designs. Fountains played a significant role in the Gardens of Versailles, all part of French King Louis XIV’s desire to exercise his power over nature. Seventeen and 18 century Popes sought to extol their positions by adding decorative baroque-style fountains at the point where restored Roman aqueducts arrived into the city.

Since indoor plumbing became the norm of the day for clean, drinking water, by the end of the 19th century urban fountains were no longer needed for this purpose and they became purely decorative. Impressive water effects and recycled water were made possible by replacing the force of gravity with mechanical pumps.

Decorating city parks, honoring people or events and entertaining, are some of the uses of modern-day fountains.
