What are the uses of water as a landscape element?

1. Garden water landscape. Such as waterfalls, fountains, ponds, etc., all use water as the theme. Water has become an important component of the garden, and it also triggers endless poetic and artistic feelings. Ice lanterns and ice sculptures are also a form of viewing when water is at very high temperatures.

2. Improve the environment, adjust the climate, and control noise. Mineral water has medical effects and negative ions have cleaning effects, which cannot be ignored.

3. Provide venues for sports and entertainment activities. Such as swimming, skating, boating, ship model, etc. Such as current leisure hot spots, such as surfing, rafting, water parks, etc.

4. Provide growth conditions for ornamental aquatic animals and plants, and create the necessary environment for biological diversity. Such as the planting of various aquatic plants such as lotus, lotus, reed, etc. and the raising of swans, mandarin ducks, koi fish, etc.

5. Provide domestic water. The most memorable thing about domestic water is drinking tea. There are seven things to do when opening the door, and the last one is tea. Tea inspired the tea sage Lu Yu's evaluation of water in the "Tea Classic": "On top of mountains, in rivers, and under wells."

6. Provide production water. The scope of production water is very wide, among which the most important is water for plant irrigation, followed by water for aquaculture, such as fish and clam farming. These two contents are closely related to the garden appearance, production and management.

7. Protection and isolation. Such as moats and isolated rivers, using the water surface as spatial isolation is the most natural and economical method. By extension, the water surface creates the circuitous route of the garden. Looking at each other from across the shore, we can only hope to reach them.

8. Water for disaster prevention. Fire fighting and drought relief are inseparable from water. Urban garden water bodies can be used as backup water for fire fighting, while suburban garden water bodies and ditches are natural pipe networks for drought resistance.

9. Transportation. Larger water surfaces can be used as a supplement to land transportation, such as yachts, transportation ships, etc.

10. Collect and drain natural rainwater. This function, in carefully designed gardens, will save a lot of investment in underground pipelines and create good site conditions for plant growth. On the contrary, sewage backflow and submerged seedlings will cause unexpected losses.
