water feature

An ornamental structure designed to display moving water.

A water feature is a man-made construction whose principal feature is moving water. The motion of the water can be propelled or it can be a simple flow from one level to another. Groups of related water features are generally classified as a single object, so that it can consist of several parts spread over a wide area.

Only outdoor water features are listed as separate structures. If moving water is a component of a sculpture or a monument, then the whole structure may be classified as a water feature, especially if its name indicates the importance of the water element (e.g. if it is called a "fountain"). If a water feature is decidedly subordinate to another purpose, then the structure is classified by that purpose.
