Such use of water, I suggest, is environmentally unfriendly.

Que ???
Surely the water just goes around in a closed circuit.
Any evaporation will eventually return in rain:~)

At all times, we have small amounts of water flowing through granite
troughs. One is recycled water, the other isn't but goes through the duck
pond, having trickled over a round granite block and into a trough. Both
attract numerous garden birds which drink from them and bathe in them,
especially at times of drought or prolonged dry spells. Recently, both have
been a real joy as thrushes, blackbirds, robins, wrens, hedge sparrows, blue
tits and great tits, house sparrows, chaffinches, wood pigeons and ring
necked doves have come to drink from them. As a result, these water
supplies are anything but environmentally unfriendly.


I think that most of the original posters fountains are for indoor
use.......they are mostly only 40 cm high :~)

I think people
(perhaps especially town-dwellers?) tend to forget that birds need water to
drink and bathe in, as well as seeds to eat. It always surprises me.

Not guilty :~))
My city birdbath is very popular with the blackbirds.
