Outdoor Garden Fountains Lost to History

Outdoor Garden Fountains Lost to History The water from springs and other sources was originally supplied to the occupants of nearby towns and municipalities by way of water fountains, whose design was primarily practical, not aesthetic. To make water flow through a fountain until the late 1800’s, and produce a jet of water, required gravity and a water source such as a creek or reservoir, situated higher than the fountain. Frequently used as monuments and commemorative edifices, water fountains have impressed men and women from all over the planet all through the ages. The contemporary fountains of modern times bear little likeness to the very first water fountains. Outdoor Garden Fountains Lost History 59081622738090628894.jpg

Created for drinking water and ceremonial purposes, the first fountains were simple carved stone basins. Natural stone basins are theorized to have been 1st used around 2,000 BC. The jet of water appearing from small spouts was pressured by gravity, the sole power source creators had in those days. Drinking water was delivered by public fountains, long before fountains became elaborate public monuments, as pretty as they are functional. Fountains with decorative Gods, mythological monsters, and animals began to show up in Rome in about 6 B.C., built from natural stone and bronze. A well-designed system of reservoirs and aqueducts kept Rome's public water fountains supplied with fresh water.
