Fountain (from the Latin "fons" (genitive "fontis"), a source or spring) is a piece of architecture which pours water into a basin or jets into the air to provide drinking water and / or for decorative or dramatic effect. Fountains originally purely functional, connected to springs or aqueducts and used to provide drinking water and water for bathing and washing to the residents of the cities, towns and villages. Until the late 19th century most fountains operated by gravity, and needed a source of water higher than the fountain, such as a reservoir or aqueduct, to make the water flow or jet into the air. In addition to providing drinking water, fountains were used for decoration and to celebrate their builders. Roman fountain decorated with bronze or stone masks of animals or heroes. In the Middle Ages, Moorish and Muslim garden designers used fountains to create miniature versions of the gardens of paradise. King Louis XIV of France used fountains in the Gardens of Versailles to illustrate his power over nature. The baroque decorative fountains of Rome in the 17th and 18th centuries marked the arrival point of restored Roman aqueducts and glorified the Pope who built them. At the end of the 19th century, as indoor plumbing became the main source of drinking water, urban fountains became purely decorative. Mechanical pumps replaced gravity and allowed fountains to recycle water and to force high into the air. The Jet d'Eau in Lake Geneva, built in 1951, shoots water 140 meters (460 feet) in the air. The highest such fountain in the world is King Fahd's Fountain in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, who spouts water 260 meters (850 ft) above the Red Sea.
