The Effect Of Water Fountain
Most of the ancient civilizations had city water storage tanks to preserve drinking water. The Greeks and Romans used pipes to carry water around the city, but also gravity to let it out. So the earliest fountains actually offered free drinking (and domestic) water, a function that has remained on many fountains in Europe and the United States to this day.
In the Middle Ages, public water systems were virtually non-existent, and European public fountains were mostly abandoned, appearing only in literary works or private gardens. The fountain also symbolizes the source of life, innocence, wisdom, and the garden of Eden.
During the Renaissance, Europe began to rebuild as a fountain of public buildings, mainly as sculptures and decorations. At present, a large number of beautiful fountains in the streets of Rome are mainly built from fifteen to eighteenth Century.
In the early days of the industrial revolution, large cities in the rapidly expanding areas built fountains for new population. Later, the water supply system gradually matured, and the water supply function of the fountain weakened.
Modern fountains are mainly decorated in public places, and occasionally can cool the ground.
The role of fountain equipment waterscape Engineering:
1, beautify the environment:
A, waterscape engineering itself can constitute the main body of a scenic spot and become the center of landscape.
B, waterscape engineering can also decorate and foil other landscapes. Static scenery with active waterscape, can achieve static and dynamic combination, make it more lively and colorful; coupled with static waterscape, can make the scenery more quiet and stable, complementary contrast, avoid dull monotony.
C. A number of scenic spots can be linked through the use of water to form an organic scenic area, thus playing a role in attracting tourists. The waterscape can also be used to separate a scenic area, forming a number of independent and interrelated and echoed scenic spots, playing a role in improving the ornamental value and interesting.
2. Improving the climate of the district: The Waterscape project can purify the air like the sea, forest, grassland and rivers and lakes, make the air in the scenic spot cleaner, fresher and wetter, make the tourists feel comfortable, refreshed and dispel irritability. This is due to:
A, waterscape engineering can increase the humidity of nearby air, especially in hot and dry areas.
B. Waterscape projects can increase the concentration of negative oxygen ions in the air nearby, reduce the number of suspended bacteria and improve the sanitary conditions of the air.
C and waterscape engineering can greatly reduce the dust content in the air and make the air clean and fresh.
3, other functions:
A. Utilizing the cooling effect of various sprinklers, the Waterscape project can be used as a sprinkler cooling pool for circulating cooling water.
B. Utilization of large pools, water flow can play an oxygenated role in preventing water quality, so that it can be used as both fire protection pools or green storage pools
C, making use of the oxygenation action of water flow to make the pond as a fish pond.
D. Utilizing the special form and change of water flow in Waterscape project, it is suitable for children to be active, competitive and hydrophilic, so that the pool can be used as children's playful pool.
E. The use of waterscape projects can attract large numbers of tourists, attracting customers and advertising for parks, shopping malls, exhibition halls, playgrounds, dance halls, cafes, etc.
F. Waterscape project itself can also become a business project, and various water-scape performances can also achieve certain economic benefits.
Of course, in certain cities, fountains are also a cultural facility for remembering something or someone.
Like the fountain of Yu Lian in Brussels. It depicts a child peeing intently, legend has it that the enemy invaded Brussels to blow up the city's treasure house, smaller than Lian found the burning fuse, quick wit, toward the fuse, a bubble of urine; the treasure house was saved, but the hero died.
