Thanks for the information. I found this unit but I'm sure some company
probably makes a smaller or better looking unit (or one that's geared
towards pond enthusiasts and not sprinkler systems):

In reading your questions and the responses, I would suggest solving the
wind problem first. Check with local weather stations / forecasters /
online to determine range of wind speeds. Limit wind variables by
screening, walls, location, location, location, of your water feature.
Limit wind variables by using fountain only when supervised. Connect
water feature to wind sensor to shut off if wind speed exceeds a
specific point. Then design your water feature with whatever pump /
basin / amount of water will work for your area / location. Sounds like
a fun project -- keep us posted.
