Water Fountains Lost to History

Water Fountains Lost to HistoryWater Fountains Lost History 93431880.jpg Villages and villages relied on working water fountains to conduct water for cooking, bathing, and cleaning from nearby sources like lakes, streams, or springs. The force of gravity was the power supply of water fountains up until the close of the 19th century, using the forceful power of water traveling downhill from a spring or creek to push the water through spigots or other outlets. The appeal and spectacle of fountains make them appropriate for traditional monuments. If you saw the earliest fountains, you would not recognize them as fountains. A stone basin, carved from rock, was the 1st fountain, used for containing water for drinking and religious functions. Stone basins are thought to have been first utilized around 2,000 BC. Gravity was the energy source that controlled the earliest water fountains. The placement of the fountains was influenced by the water source, which is why you’ll usually find them along reservoirs, waterways, or streams. The Romans began constructing ornate fountains in 6 B.C., most of which were bronze or stone masks of animals and mythological representations. Water for the open fountains of Rome was delivered to the city via a complex system of water aqueducts.
