The Outdoor Water Features
Water fountains were initially practical in purpose, used to deliver water from rivers or springs to cities and villages, providing the inhabitants with fresh water to drink, wash, and cook with. A source of water higher in elevation than the fountain was necessary to pressurize the movement and send water spraying from the fountain's nozzle, a system without equal until the later part of the 19th century. Fountains all through history have been developed as memorials, impressing hometown citizens and tourists alike. If you saw the very first fountains, you probably would not identify them as fountains. Simple stone basins crafted from nearby material were the original fountains, used for spiritual purposes and drinking water. 2,000 B.C. is when the oldest identified stone fountain basins were actually used. Gravity was the power source that controlled the initial water fountains. Situated near aqueducts or creeks, the practical public water fountains provided the local populace with fresh drinking water. Fountains with elaborate decoration started to show up in Rome in approximately 6 B.C., usually gods and wildlife, made with stone or bronze. The extraordinary aqueducts of Rome supplied water to the eye-catching public fountains, many of which you can travel to today.
