Water and fountains

As I mentioned a few days ago, I am reading a book about water, the current status of the world of water, the future of water in our world.  Lots of data and some amazing facts, good examples of wise water usage and examples of foolish usage as well.  It's easy to skip around in it, which is what I have done.  "The Big Thirst" by Fishman.

Reading a book like this encourages you to investigate other paths that you might not have previously taken.  The author talks about huge water fountains and introduces the company that has designed and implemented many of the world's most incredible water features:  WET Designs.  If you are at all enamoured of water fountains I encourage you to google the name and check out some of the fountains they have on their site, under "Creations."  Some have a short movie about the fountain and the best one is the one from Dubai, UAE.  This is the largest water fountain in the world, surpassing the size of the fountains at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.  There are dozens of still photos of fountains as well, from all over the world.  You can also go to youtube.com and search for WET Design fountains and see other videos from around the world.

Gorgeous designs and the scope of some of these water features is awesome in the jaw-dropping meaning of that word.  Makes me want to see them all in person.
