California's Water Fountain Study and Results
California's Water Fountain Study and Results In February 2014, a charge on sugar-sweetened beverages was enacted in Berkley, CA, making it the first city in the United States to submit such a law. The objective is to get individuals drinking more water and other natural beverages by elevating the cost of soda and other sugar-sweetened drinks. First, the city conducted an analysis to evaluate whether citizens had easy access to functioning drinking water fountains. Through information gathered by a mobile GPS app, researchers were able to identify the state of existing water fountains in Berkley. Analysts then used US Census data to find out more about the economic and racial issues that affected the city. Evaluations were made between the location and demographic data, exposing whether class differences affected access to clean, working water fountains. Each water fountain and the demographics of its bordering area were analyzed to reveal whether the site of the fountains or their standard of maintenance showed any relationship to income, race, or other points. The fact that the fountains were working was not a guarantee that they were well-maintained, given that quite a few were in need of cleaning and repair.
The Wide Range of Wall Water Fountains
The Wide Range of Wall Water Fountains A small patio or a courtyard is a great spot to put your wall fountain when you need peace and quiet. You can have one made to suit your requirements even if you have a small amount of space. The necessary components include a spout, a water basin, internal tubing, and a pump regardless of whether it is freestanding or anchored.
There are any number of different types available on the market including traditional, fashionable, classical, or Asian. Normally quite large, freestanding wall fountains, also known as floor fountains, have their basins on the floor.
It is possible to incorporate a wall-mounted fountain onto an already existing wall or built into a new wall. This style of fountain contributes to a cohesive look making it seem as if it was part of the landscape rather than an added feature.
