Raised rills. When raised above ground level, rills can become more than just a water feature. In the Renaissance gardens of the Villa d'Este near Rome, rills were set into the center of long stone tables so that wine bottles could be cooled in the cold, flowing water. I have seen a modern version of this in Place Kléber in Strasburg, France, where raised wooden rills were built one summer to allow the residents to cool their wine, beer and feet in the heat of a continental summer.

Rills/Water

Of all the water features we use in our gardens, the rill perhaps has the most interesting history. The rill is a man-made garden canal that creates garden ambience through the pleasant sound of moving water. The earliest style of rill was found in ancient Persian gardens, but perhaps the most famous are in the Moorish Alhambra gardens in Granada, Spain. The rill was a popular water feature of Edwardian garden design and often used by Gertrude Jeckyll, one of Englands most famous garden designers. Today, rills are the perfect choice for any size garden, as they take up little space, are easy to maintain and can be designed to suit your style of garden and your life.

Water rill will keep the water coming from the downspouts in New Hampshire from running straight into the lake and will help keep the flowers watered

Another Rill. I like the contemporary spin, using trough-like canals to form a many-layered waterfall.
