California's Outdoor Garden Fountain Research and Results
Berkley, CA citizens voted for a sugar-sweetened beverages tax in February 2014, the earliest of its kind in the United States. By making soda more expensive, it’s expected that individuals will make healthier choices for what their children drink, like water as an example. First, the city conducted an analysis to evaluate whether citizens had easy access to working drinking water fountains. Using information collected by a mobile GPS app, researchers were able to establish the state of active water fountains in Berkley. Demographic data on race and income was then gathered using the US Census database. The two data sets were reviewed to identify what class differences, if any, there were in access to operating water fountains. The evaluation was able to pinpoint the demographics of areas with water fountains, also observing whether the state of the fountains was greater or worse in lower class neighborhoods. While the greater part of the fountains were in working order, an alarming quantity were found to be in a bad state of repairs.
The Innumerable Options in Wall Fountains
The Innumerable Options in Wall Fountains You can find peace and quiet when you add a wall fountain in your garden or patio. You can have one made to suit your specifications even if you have a small amount of space. A spout, a water basin, internal piping, and a pump are essential for freestanding as well as mounted types. There are any number of models to pick from including traditional, contemporary, classic, or Asian. Stand-alone wall fountains, otherwise known as floor fountains, are considerably big and feature a basin on the ground.
It is possible to integrate a wall-mounted fountain onto an already existing wall or built into a new wall. This style of fountain adds to a cohesive look making it seem as if it was part of the landscape rather than an added feature.
