Did You Know How Technical Designs of Water Fountains Became Known? Contributing to the advancement of scientific technology were the published papers and illustrated publications of the day. They were also the primary means of transferring useful hydraulic facts and water fountain design ideas throughout Europe. In the late 1500's, a French water feature developer (whose name has been lost) was the globally renowned hydraulics leader. By designing landscapes and grottoes with built-in and clever water attributes, he started off his occupation in Italy by getting Royal commissions in Brussels, London and Germany. He authored a book titled “The Principles of Moving Forces” toward the end of his lifetime while in France which turned into the essential tome on hydraulic mechanics and engineering. Updating key hydraulic breakthroughs of classical antiquity, the book also details modern hydraulic technologies. Prominent among these works were those of Archimedes, the developer of the water screw, a mechanized way of transferring water. Sunlight warming liquid in two containers unseen in a room adjacent to an beautiful water feature was shown in one illustration. The heated liquid expands and then rises and closes the pipes consequently activating the water feature. Concepts for pumps, water wheels, water attributes and garden ponds are also covered in the publication.

Terracotta pipelines were used to distribute water at Knossos Palace, running up to three meters below the floors. The water pipes also had other functions such as amassing water and directing it to a centralized location for storage.
