Fountain

  • Fountains are made to work by re-circulating or recycling the water contained in a pool.
  • Fountains in a running condition are very pleasant to look at.
  • They alone can be an attractive feature of a garden, since various designs are made with them.
  • Fountains can be placed in a line along the centre of a water course. They may also be placed in the centre of a pool.
  • In some designs, fountain jets come out from the rim of the circular water pool and meet above its centre in the form of an umbrella.
  • In some layouts, a row of fountains with the highest on at the centre and then gradually shorter ones towards the side form a beautiful composition.
  • Some cities of the world have used richly sculptured fountains in their designs.
  • Large fountains are being used in shopping mall and pedestrian plazas.
  • Small re-circulating fountains are available nowadays to bring new life to a patio area.
  • Illuminated running water and fountains decorated by coloured lighting further enhance beauty.
