Can Garden Fountains Help Cleanse The Air?
You can liven up your environment by adding an indoor wall fountain. Your eyes, your ears and your well-being can be favorably influenced by including this type of indoor feature in your house. The science behind the idea that water fountains can be beneficial for you is unquestionable. Water features in general generate negative ions which are then balanced out by the positive ions released by contemporary conveniences. When positive ions overtake negative ones, this results in greater mental and physical health. The higher serotonin levels resulting from these types of features make people more attentive, serene and energized. The negative ions emitted by indoor wall fountains foster a better mood as well as remove air impurities from your home. They also help to eliminate allergies, pollutants as well as other types of irritants. Finally, these fountains absorb dust particles and micro-organisms in the air thereby influencing your general well-being for the better.
Where did Large Garden Fountains Come From?
Where did Large Garden Fountains Come From? A water fountain is an architectural piece that pours water into a basin or jets it high into the air in order to supply drinking water, as well as for decorative purposes.
From the beginning, outdoor fountains were simply there to serve as functional elements. Residents of cities, townships and small towns utilized them as a source of drinking water and a place to wash, which meant that fountains had to be linked to nearby aqueduct or spring. Used until the nineteenth century, in order for fountains to flow or shoot up into the air, their source of water such as reservoirs or aqueducts, had to be higher than the water fountain in order to benefit from gravity. Fountains were an optimal source of water, and also served to decorate living areas and celebrate the designer. Animals or heroes made of bronze or stone masks were often used by Romans to beautify their fountains. During the Middle Ages, Muslim and Moorish garden designers included fountains in their designs to mimic the gardens of paradise. King Louis XIV of France wanted to demonstrate his superiority over nature by including fountains in the Gardens of Versailles. To mark the entryway of the restored Roman aqueducts, the Popes of the 17th and 18th centuries commissioned the building of baroque style fountains in the spot where the aqueducts entered the city of Rome
The end of the 19th century saw the increase in usage of indoor plumbing to provide drinking water, so urban fountains were relegated to purely decorative elements. Gravity was substituted by mechanical pumps in order to enable fountains to bring in clean water and allow for amazing water displays.
Modern fountains are used to embellish public spaces, honor individuals or events, and enrich recreational and entertainment events.
