Abstrakt: The article presents the authors' experience of designing an algorithm that controls the height of a fountain in an open square. Their task was to keep passersby dry and yet have the fountain look as impressive as possible. It required to devise a scheme to regulate the flow of water through the fountain to ensure that the bulk of the water shot into the air falls back to the ground within the fountain basin boundary. The article also presents a detailed explanation of the design of the model and the mathematics applied to gain the desired results.
