The fascination with fountains seems to be universal, are the Greeks to blame for this? :-)

Tony that is possible, I always find them interesting and I always stop and admire when I see one. ;-)

Fred an interesting fact I discovered when I was involved in the water industry, the Greeks devised a method of creating smaller and smaller bore pipes filled from a reservoir at a great height, this had the effect of making great pressure at the outlet enabling fountains of over 100 feet without the use of, then unknown, pumps, nothing new then pal!
