Fountains and Ponds

 Location: Portland OR.  This fountain occupies a spot in a central courtyard of condominiums.  A great use of natural water flow, this fountains turns on when it rains.  It's flow is provided by run-off that is collected from the roof and is directed to a trough that, once full flows over a curved steal fin.  Materials: steel, stone, concrete.  Dimensions:~14'x5'  The fountain is very functional as it contains water during a hard rain rather than contributing to overwhelmed storm drains.  May require annual cleanings of inlets/outlets to ensure water flow.
