Fountain

This photo was taken 3/28/17 outside the Fisher Student Union on the campus of UNCW. The photo shows a pond with a fountain in the middle. The fountain is more than just a pretty decoration. It actually helps the overall health of the pond. Fountains help to move water and nutrients throughout the water column. Fountains also help to add additional dissolved oxygen to the water. Because fountains create additional water movement they help to reduce algae blooms and to improve water clarity. At a time when so many human additions to ecosystems cause harm its nice to see a man made addition that actually helps out.
