What Houzz contributors are saying:

A streamlined water feature like this can be used to draw the eye out towards a beautiful view …

added by Frank Organ to Gardens Tap Into Rill Water Features

Looking to the past. In early Persian gardens, slim canals were the main feature of gardens where creating a cooling atmosphere was vital in the hot climate. Today, similar water features are used for the same purpose. The addition of fountains on this contemporary raised rill adds movement as they disturb the reflections on the water.
