water feature

Decorative pond element

A water feature is any decorative element in a landscape or interior that incorporates water—fountains, ponds, waterfalls, streams, or sculptural pieces with flowing water.

The term is common in garden design and real estate listings: The backyard includes a stone water feature.

Water features range from elaborate installations to simple tabletop fountains.
