Jet d'eau (Water Fountain, aquatics), Geneva, Switzerland, Aquatics
Code Number:
CESV02P06_12
Title:
Jet d'eau (Water Fountain, aquatics), Geneva, Switzerland, Aquatics
This fountain started as a simple security valve at the Coulouvreni?re hydraulic factory. Over the years, it has grown to be the main symbol of Geneva Switzerland.
In 1891, it was transferred to the "Rade", to become a major tourist attraction. However, it was not until 1951 that it was provided with an autonomous pumping station, propelling 500 liters of water per second to a height of 140 meters at a speed of 200 km per hour (124 miles/h). Eight 9,000-watt projectors light the fountain?s in the evening.
