Eco-Friendly Fountains: Good for the Planet
Are you looking to adorn your backyard? Stop looking! Solar water fountains are the ideal solution - they bring elegance to any home and at the same time add financial value to the property. They are the same as electric fountains in that they help with one's overall health but they also offer financial benefits. Even though there may be a greater expense at the beginning, the long-term investment will make it worthwhile. Electrical power deficits will no longer hinder utilizing your fountain since it will run on the energy of the sun. Running water fountains will lead to an increase in your electric bill. The short-term perks may not be noticeable, but keep in mind that the increased worth of your home will be later on.
Higher costs is not the only issue with using more electricity, the environment takes a big hit as well. The only source of energy used by solar powered water features is the sun making them a “green” alternative. Using solar energy to heat or cool your home is much better for our planet.
This sort of water fountain doesn't need as much upkeep as others.
These fountains require less cleaning than other kinds. Clogs are avoided since there is no motor - which means less cleaning. And since there is little cleaning to do, you will have more time to enjoy yourself!
The History of Outdoor Fountains
The History of Outdoor Fountains Hundreds of ancient Greek documents were translated into Latin under the authority of the scholarly Pope Nicholas V, who led the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 to 1455. It was imperative for him to beautify the city of Rome to make it worthy of being known as the capital of the Christian world. At the bidding of the Pope, the Aqua Vergine, a damaged aqueduct which had transported clean drinking water into Rome from eight miles away, was renovated starting in 1453. The historical Roman custom of marking the arrival point of an aqueduct with an imposing celebratory fountain, also known as a mostra, was restored by Nicholas V. The present-day site of the Trevi Fountain was previously occupied by a wall fountain commissioned by the Pope and built by the architect Leon Battista Alberti. The water which eventually provided the Trevi Fountain as well as the famed baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and Piazza Navona flowed from the modified aqueduct which he had renovated.
