The modern water wall design
can be structured, traditional, natural, organic, or colorful. The task is to
recognize the client's preferences, evaluate the location, and consider the
design, architectural standards, and operational specifications for the
development of a custom water wall
that is at once workable and aesthetic to look at.
Here are some of the
general characteristics of water that are crucially considered while building a
wall waterfall.
1.
Movement
Water movement can be
either static, in a mellow pond or lake, or dynamic, which is active and used
as a focal point of the design.
2.
Sound
The sound is the
often-forgotten quality of water. Depending on the level of movement and the
flow of water involved, various sounds may be produced. It is necessary to pay
attention to the audible elements of water; too little can be annoying, like a
dripping faucet, and too much can be overpowering in smaller spaces.
3.
Reflectivity
In a calm environment,
water could be used to reflect their environment in its static state. Light,
temperature, slope, wind, shapes, and surfaces influence the water flow. These
may all play a part in understanding the idea of the final design.
4.
Light
A well-lit water feature
turns a huge mass of water into a scintillating, sparkling element. New
technology like fiber optic illuminators, can also enable water to emit a
variety of colors.
5.
Temperature
When water freezes in
colder weather, it also creates a dramatic change in the water. Moving water
freezes and creates mesmerizing sculptural formations, which can be
particularly dramatic when illuminated.
6.
Wind
Wind can make water
change from a mirror-plane to stormy white-capped waves on a flat surface. In
high wind situations, vertical water characteristics will spray outside the
pool.
7.
Slope
A slope directs the flow
of water. With higher movement rates, the generated sound and attraction will
significantly rise.
8.
Shape
Water takes on the form
of every vessel it is placed in. For example, in a large container, a constant
volume of water may appear calm but rather turbulent when funneled through a
small passage due to the increased resistance. If the surface is highly
textured, this same water will move more slowly and appear more turbulent.
Types of Water Features
Fountains
Although a fountain is a
focal point, it can also be used to divide a room. If using a single plane, or
multiples, consider combining it with light. Few features can be compared to a
pool which illuminates a fountain at night.
Swimming
This is a simple and
quick way to install a large water feature. To the desired location in the pool
or lake, let your water feature float. The body of floating fountains is filled
with foam that allows the fountain to float just under the water surface.
Decorative
These can be categorized
into three types depending on which element plays the central role; the
hardscape, the water, or an equal mix of the two.
Animation
Present preferences are becoming
more modern in the functions of a waterfall. It is popular to work out
fountains that can be programmed and to let it dance to music. Individual
nozzles create water patterns that differ in sound, height, and color. Those
fountains require control for sequence.
Cascades & Water walls
The waterfalls and
cascades offer great potential when it comes to creating dramatic effects. The
power of water as it crumples over a surface creates elements of exceptional
beauty, which can be further boosted by the influence of light on the water's
moving surface. Some materials are appropriate for water walls, but in areas of
freeze/thaw cycle's slate and marble should be avoided.
Rills & Tracks
These other
characteristics suggest visual and physical movement. They are leading the eye
in the direction given. Rills are narrow that compress the water to create a
sense of tension. It should be as broad as needed for a rill to be successful
and lead from one large body of land to another.
