The presentation discusses the history and uses of waterscapes in built environments. Waterscapes, which include fountains, cascades, and ponds, have been used for centuries as artistic and recreational features that enhance surroundings. Specific examples highlighted include Mughal gardens in Kashmir and India, which incorporated elaborate water features, as well as fountains from ancient Rome, France, and Hong Kong. Waterscapes provide aesthetic, acoustic, and environmental benefits and can be focal points that attract people. A variety of waterscape designs are shown, along with their ability to create different visual and sound effects.
