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.
