artificial waterfall
An artificial waterfall is a water feature or fountain which imitates a natural waterfall.〔
Artificial waterfalls have long been featured in traditional Japanese gardens, where they can serve to highlight a scene or to provide focus. The classic gardening manual ''Sakuteiki'', written in the mid-to-late 11th century, lists nine different types.〔Takei, Jiro ''et al.'' (2001). (''Sakuteiki Visions of the Japanese Garden: A Modern Translation of Japan's Gardening Classic,'' p. 3 n1 )〕〔David Young, Michiko Young, ''The Art of the Japanese Garden'', Tuttle Publishing, 2005, ISBN 0804835985, page 30〕
Artificial waterfalls were popular in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the famous waterfall in Viktoriapark in Berlin.〔Susan C. Anderson (Editor), Bruce Tabb (Editor), ''Water, Leisure and Culture: European Historical Perspectives'', Berg Publishers, 2002, ISBN 1859735401, page 122〕 An early American example is Huntington Waterfalls in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, California. In 1896, ''Gardening Magazine'' reported that it was the only artificial waterfall in a public park in North America.〔''Gardening Magazine'', 1896, page 363〕
==Indoor waterfalls==
Artificial waterfalls installed inside of buildings can be small or quite large. Some of the benefits of indoor waterfalls are considered to be their production of white noise, humidity, as well as naturally peaceful feelings engendered among onlookers.〔''Zen & the Art of Pond Building'', D. J. Herda, Sterling Publishing Company, Inc., 2008, ISBN 1402742746, page 9〕
