What are the precautions in waterscape design? What should be paid attention to in waterscape design?

Matters needing attention in waterscape design:

1, the principle of "small" rather than "big"

The so-called "small" rather than "big" principle here means that when designing water bodies, more consideration should be given to designing small water bodies, rather than rambling and tasteless large water bodies. There are so many large water bodies now, which may be related to people's psychological factors of "exultation". Perhaps large water bodies can make people feel the existence of water and attract people's attention, but many problems often appear after the completion of large water bodies: the maintenance difficulty of large water bodies may not be considered by designers at the beginning of design; Large water bodies often make people feel at a respectful distance from each other, but they don't want to get close to them, because there are often warning signs next to the water bodies: the water depth here is too deep, swimming is forbidden, fishing is forbidden, etc. Large water bodies are generally dug by hand, so most of them are "stagnant water". Once there is a water pollution problem, it will be fatal. Small water bodies are easy to build, which is one aspect. More importantly, small water bodies are easier to meet people's hydrophilic needs and stimulate people's enthusiasm for participation. What's more, in the later maintenance and management, small water bodies are convenient for better maintenance, and in the case of water pollution, small water bodies are easier to control.

2. The principle of "bending" should not be "straight"

The principle that the so-called "curve" should not be "straight" is that the water body is best designed to be curved. In the construction of classical gardens, it is very important to "learn from nature", that is, to follow the laws of nature in design. We can look at the rivers and streams in nature, most of which are winding, because such waterscape is more likely to form a changing effect. Especially in residential areas, it is easier to design natural winding water! However, in reality, many people design the water body to be straight. Perhaps this practice reflects a kind of order beauty and a psychological satisfaction of conquering nature!

3. The principle of "downward" rather than "upward"

Here "down" and "up" are relative, and "down" rather than "up" means that the designed waterscape should conform to the gravity of nature as much as possible, so don't design too many large fountains, because large fountains spray upwards and need energy support to offset the influence of gravity, which will consume a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. Therefore, in reality, we'd better make full use of gravity and use as little energy as possible to form as beautiful a landscape as possible. This needs to test the innovative ability of designers.

4, should be "virtual" should not be "real" principle.

Symbolic, abstract and virtual waterscape is also a good solution in areas where water resources are scarce. The virtual waterscape here is relative to the actual water body. It is an intentional waterscape, which is made by imitating the shapes of natural water bodies with regional characteristics such as stones, sand grains and weeds. This kind of waterscape is of special significance for waterscape construction in areas with serious water shortage, and it is easier to bring more thoughts and experiences to people. This may be unmatched by the real waterscape, because the real waterscape can only bring people a kind of visual satisfaction and superficial experience.
