The Original Public Garden Fountains of the Historical Past
The Original Public Garden Fountains of the Historical Past The water from springs and other sources was originally supplied to the occupants of nearby communities and cities through water fountains, whose purpose was primarily practical, not artistic. To produce water flow through a fountain until the late 1800’s, and produce a jet of water, required the force of gravity and a water source such as a creek or reservoir, located higher than the fountain.
The beauty and wonder of fountains make them ideal for historic monuments. Simple in design, the first water fountains didn't look much like modern-day fountains. Simple stone basins crafted from local material were the original fountains, used for religious functions and drinking water. Rock basins are theorized to have been first utilized around the year 2000 BC. The earliest civilizations that used fountains relied on gravity to force water through spigots. Drinking water was provided by public fountains, long before fountains became decorative public statues, as attractive as they are functional. Fountains with decorative Gods, mythological monsters, and animals began to show up in Rome in about 6 BC, crafted from stone and bronze. Water for the communal fountains of Rome was brought to the city via a elaborate system of water aqueducts.
