TitleCrown Fountain, water feature tests, ca. November 5, 2002
DescriptionTesting the cascade feature of Crown Fountain at Crystal Fountain's headquarters in Concord, Ontario. Great care was taken to regulate the amount of water that cascades down all four sides of the towers of Crown Fountain to achieve the effect designed by Jaume Plensa and yet avoid injuring those below it. Crown Fountain uses 11, 000 gallons of water per hour, and of this amount, 97% is reused.
