The Garden Water Fountains

The Garden Water Fountains Villages and communities relied on working water fountains to funnel water for preparing food, bathing, and cleaning from nearby sources like ponds, channels, or creeks. To generate water flow through a fountain until the late 1800’s, and generate a jet of water, mandated gravity and a water source such as a creek or lake, positioned higher than the fountain. Frequently used as monuments and commemorative edifices, water fountains have impressed men and women from all over the globe all through the ages. If you saw the earliest fountains, you probably would not recognize them as fountains. Designed for drinking water and ceremonial purposes, the first fountains were very simple carved stone basins. The earliest stone basins are suspected to be from about 2000 BC. The first fountains put to use in ancient civilizations relied on gravity to manipulate the movement of water through the fountain. Drinking water was delivered by public fountains, long before fountains became elaborate public monuments, as attractive as they are functional. Fountains with decorative Gods, mythological beasts, and animals began to appear in Rome in about 6 B.C., made from stone and bronze. The City of Rome had an intricate system of aqueducts that provided the water for the countless fountains that were located throughout the community.
