The Outdoor Public Fountains
The Outdoor Public Fountains The water from rivers and other sources was initially provided to the residents of nearby towns and municipalities through water fountains, whose design was largely practical, not artistic. To generate water flow through a fountain until the late 1800’s, and produce a jet of water, demanded gravity and a water source such as a spring or lake, located higher than the fountain. Inspirational and spectacular, large water fountains have been built as monuments in most civilizations. If you saw the first fountains, you would not recognize them as fountains. A natural stone basin, carved from rock, was the first fountain, utilized for containing water for drinking and religious purposes. Pure stone basins as fountains have been discovered from 2,000 B.C.. The first civilizations that used fountains depended on gravity to drive water through spigots. Situated near reservoirs or creeks, the functional public water fountains provided the local population with fresh drinking water. Fountains with elaborate decoration started to show up in Rome in approximately 6 BC, normally gods and wildlife, made with stone or copper-base alloy.
A well-engineered collection of reservoirs and aqueducts kept Rome's public water fountains supplied with fresh water.
