It can be used to house fish or bring in birds in the form of a birdbath. You can plant aquatic plants and it’ll help reduce the overall temperature of the area around it. Running water sparkles in the sunlight which will make the garden more aesthetically pleasing; and if it’s just out of sight can also provide a little mystery to your garden as it will stimulate the imagination.
