The Innumerable Options in Wall Fountains
The Innumerable Options in Wall Fountains You can find tranquility and silence when you add a wall fountain in your backyard or patio. Even a small space can contain a custom-made one. Both the stand alone and mounted types must have a spout, a water basin, internal tubing, and a pump.
Freestanding wall fountains, otherwise known as floor fountains, are relatively big and feature a basin on the ground.
A stand-alone fountain can either be integrated onto a wall already in existence or built into a wall under construction. This type of fountain adds to a cohesive look making it appear as if it was part of the landscape rather than an added feature.
The Early Society: Garden Fountains
The Early Society: Garden Fountains Archaeological digs in Minoan Crete in Greece have uncovered a number of types of conduits. They were used for water supply as well as removal of storm water and wastewater. Virtually all were prepared from terracotta or rock. Whenever manufactured from terracotta, they were commonly in the form of canals and round or rectangular conduits. These incorporated cone-like and U-shaped clay piping which were exclusive to the Minoans. The water supply at Knossos Palace was managed with a system of terracotta piping that was put beneath the floor, at depths varying from a couple of centimeters to many meters.
