Water Features Found in Historical Documents Towns and communities depended on functional water fountains to conduct water for preparing food, washing, and cleaning from nearby sources like lakes, channels, or creeks. To generate water flow through a fountain until the end of the 1800’s, and generate a jet of water, required gravity and a water source such as a spring or lake, situated higher than the fountain. Fountains throughout history have been designed as monuments, impressing local citizens and visitors alike. If you saw the first fountains, you probably would not recognize them as fountains.

Water for the community fountains of Rome arrived to the city via a complicated system of water aqueducts.
