Water features play an important role in landscape design by adding visual interest, providing a calming sound, and creating a natural habitat for birds and wildlife. They can also help regulate temperature and humidity in the surrounding area, improve air quality, and act as a focal point for outdoor living spaces. Water features can range from small fountains or ponds to large lakes or streams, and are often used to enhance the aesthetic appeal and relaxation potential of yard and garden areas. Additionally, features like rain gardens and bioswales can help manage stormwater runoff and protect against erosion.
