Half art and half technology, Flowform sculptures allow water to cascade in a series of figure eights, replicating the path water takes in undisturbed flows found in nature. The natural movement of the water allows for better oxygenation, and it improves the water’s capacity to support life-forms. Flowforms can regenerate water’s natural power and are used around the worldin agricultural irrigation and sewage treatment systems.

Even Prince Charles of Great Britain uses Flowforms for the sewage system at Hygrove Castle.

Flowforms are also beautiful, sculptural designs, reflecting inventor John Wilkes study of sculpture at the Royal College or Art.

The book shown here is John Wilke’s classic book, Flowforms:  The Rhythmic Power of Water.
