A courtyard entrance water feature refers to a decorative element found at the entrance of a courtyard, typically consisting of a water element such as a pond, fountain, or stream. These features are designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the courtyard and create a serene environment. They can also serve practical purposes like providing a natural sound or cooling the air. The design and construction of such features can vary widely, depending on cultural context, budget, and the overall landscaping of the courtyard.
