Water in Islamic Garden Design
The Islamic Garden Design tradition grew out of practical concerns and the irrigation techniques of the Persians. Islamic or Moorish garden design developed to feature repeated garden design elements, including water, symmetry, and the 'Chahah Bagh' - Water channels that split the design of the garden into four.

Water Features
Water is the essential element in all Islamic Gardens. At it's essence, the water represents the source of life but it also works as a design device to cool the garden, irrigate the garden, and to mask sound. The sounds of rippling water was a delight to the senses, whilst large pools of still water reflected the ornate architecture like a giant mirror.
