California's Outdoor Fountain Analysis and Results The first example of a soda tax in the US came in February 2014, when it was passed by the city of Berkley, California. By making soda more expensive, it’s assumed that parents will make healthier choices for what their children drink, like water for instance. Research was performed to find out the reputation of local drinking water fountains and whether people from different racial or economic backgrounds had reduced availability to them. The study utilized a GPS app to gather data on existing water fountains in the city. This information was cross-referenced with demographic data on race and income collected from the US Census Community Study database. Evaluations were made between the location and demographic data, uncovering whether class differences affected availability to clean, functional water fountains. Each water fountain and the demographics of its bordering area were reviewed to reveal whether the site of the fountains or their level of maintenance exhibited any relationship to income, race, or other factors. The tidiness of various fountains was found lacking, even if most were working.

Back Story of Landscape Fountains

Back Story of Landscape Fountains Hundreds of classic Greek documents were translated into Latin under the auspices of the scholarly Pope Nicholas V, who led the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 to 1455. It was important for him to beautify the city of Rome to make it worthy of being called the capital of the Christian world. At the bidding of the Pope, the Aqua Vergine, a ruined aqueduct which had carried clean drinking water into Rome from eight miles away, was reconditioned starting in 1453. The ancient Roman custom of building an awe-inspiring commemorative fountain at the location where an aqueduct arrived, also known as a mostra, was restored by Nicholas V. The architect Leon Battista Alberti was commissioned by the Pope to construct a wall fountain where we now find the Trevi Fountain. The aqueduct he had refurbished included modifications and extensions which eventually enabled it to supply water to the Trevi Fountain as well as the renowned baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza Navona.
