If you are using water for drinking and cleaning only, you might miss a fascinating side of maybe the most precious and everyday commodity.
The following magnificent fountains illustrate in a perfect way what you can do with water as well: blasting it into the sky, illuminating it with lights below the surface, and letting it flow over classical sculptures and architecture.
12. Longwood Garden (Pennsylvania)
The different pools in Longwood Gardens, situated in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, are housing a total of 380 nozzles to shoot water in the air. This is achieved by 18 pumps, propelling the water in the pipes below.
13. Kanazawa Fountain Clock (Japan)
Another quite technical fountain is the Kanazawa Fountain Clock. This is in fact a series of small fountains on a dark surface. By operating each nozzle individually it can display numbers and letters, even in different languages.
