Water fountains are a great way to create a focal point.
The water not only has a cooling effect, but its sound can have a soothing effect.
The sound from a water fall can also be used to mask uninvited sounds, like traffic from a nearby highway.
Movement is created as the water falls and the splashing water provides visual coolness. Texture is added by using stone or tile.
Selecting a mosaic pattern will add colour and pattern to the fountain to make it more interesting.
