They were also the main method of transmitting practical hydraulic information and water fountain design suggestions all through Europe. An un-named French water feature designer was an internationally celebrated hydraulic leader in the late 1500's. With imperial commissions in Brussels, London and Germany, he started his work in Italy, acquiring experience in garden design and grottoes with built-in and imaginative water features. He wrote a book named “The Principles of Moving Forces” toward the end of his life while in France which became the fundamental text on hydraulic technology and engineering. Explaining the latest hydraulic systems, the book furthermore updated key hydraulic advancements of classical antiquity. As a mechanized method to push water, Archimedes invented the water screw, chief among vital hydraulic breakthroughs. Two concealed containers warmed by the sun's rays in an space adjacent to the ornamental fountain were presented in an illustration.
