via Today Bharat New hope over timely completion of Polavaram Project Polavaram Project works gained significant momentum, both in terms of construction works and engineering clearances. Efforts are on full swing to complete this multi-purpose project within the specified timeframe. Intending to focus on the public interests in place of short-sighted political and contractual interests, the state government is showing high priority to complete the project using sophisticated engineering technologies and scientific methods. As all the unscientific gaps and loopholes in project design and its implementation are being addressed, this prestigious national project has gained a new pace with a refined engineering model. Considering the favourable time to speed up the works, the contracting company Megha Engineering Infrastructure Limited (MEIL) is taking all the steps to use the resources more productively. All-out efforts are being carried out to pool up the expertise and resources to accomplish the project within the stipulated time. The company is determined to demonstrate its mettle again in executing such prestigious projects in a time-bound manner. The State Government is also extending all its support by taking appropriate decisions and providing needed direction for the project implementation. While Spillway works to an extent of 62818 cubic meters have been executed within a short period, preparatory works to speed up the rest of the project works are in full swing. Vibro compaction works to test the strength of the soil, preliminary works linked to Gap-1 constructions, blasting works for construction of Hydro-Electric Power Station, cofferdam works on the upper and lower part of the project site that prevents obstacle due to unforeseen floods are going on with rapid pace. It is critical to obtain required approvals for scientific designs to execute the project within the deadlines. If such design clearances are not there for the works to be taken at present, there is no utility in speeding up the works. Realising this, MEIL sought speedy clearances for such designs from the government, during the project review undertaken by Chief Minister Mr. YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. It made it clear that such clearance is necessary to complete the project in time. Chief Minister instantly responded and issued orders for appointment of two special officers, to be placed at Delhi and Hyderabad, for getting needed clearances for the project. Ever since project works gained much-needed momentum.Indeed, the rules and engineering technicalities for the project are very clear from the beginning. But their overlook by the erstwhile government has made the project implementation more complex, resulting in a situation where villages getting submerged even with a small flood in the river. Now works are concentrating on rectifying such gaps and an overlook of technicalities. Though MEIL got these project work in November itself, it could not initiate the works instantly. Almost three months of valuable time has been lost due to modification of earlier works that were carried out in a non-engineering process by the previous government. The high priority given for the construction of Coffer Dam by Mr Chandrababu Naidu government, with so much of shortsightedness, has resulted in a submergence issue. He tried to complete the construction of Coffer Dam and store some water in it, in a way that can be released through the left and right canals during the flood times; the idea was to make the people believe that the project is partially completed. This is highly in contrast to the engineering principles. At that time, Central Government also fell in line to his pressure and permitted for construction of Coffer Dam with a height of 42.5 meters. Except for Polavaram, nowhere an irrigation project has got such clearance for such type of construction. Coffer Dam is a temporary structure normally taken up for diverting the river water during the process of constructing the main dam. It avoids obstruction of project works by the water during the floods. The construction of such a big structure has resulted in a heavy stagnation of water during the floods last year, with which roads were washed away. Almost 4 TMCs of water was stagnated, and it has to be pumped out for continuation of works. Pumping machines continuously lifted out water for nearly 3 months, and project works could be re-initiated only by the end of January. Though all the project works have to be given equal priority, the previous government highly focused on Spillway and Coffer Dam works. It could not even complete those works in time. Along with Earth cum Rock-Fill Dam (Main Dam), works related to 3 Gaps, Spillway, Spill Channel, Approach Channel, Pilot Channel, the convergence of Left and Right Canal and Hydro-Electric Power Station are critical for this project. Most of such works were not even initiated by the previous government. Such neglect is reflected clearly as an iota of work is not done for the Hydro-Electric Project. MEIL has increased the pace of Spillway works from January onwards; ever since they are being continued with even pace. It could complete 20631 Cum of work in January 32124 Cum in February and 21358 Cum in March, till to date. Construction of Spillway beams, bridges, a divider wall, training wall and guide wall is being done with much-needed pace, along with main works related to Earth cum Rockfill Dam, its 3 Gaps and Hydro-Electric Power Station. During the regime of Chandrababu Naidu, the project works witnessed very slow progress, even though it has received all the critical clearances when Dr Y.S. Rajashekar Reddy was Chief Minister. The left and right canals were also completed during his rule. But it could not get needed focus and priority by the following Congress and Telugu Desam governments. During the nine years in between 2010-2019, except a small part of Spillway construction along with Diafram wall and Coffer Dam, no significant work was completed. The project got a fresh breath since a new government was formed by YSR Congress Party under the leadership of Y.S Jagan Mohan Reddy. After taking reins, Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy immediately changed the project construction company with an intention to speed up the works. At the same time, his government focused on taking balance critical clearances which were neglected by the previous government. While this project requires clearances for a total of 45 designs, it took nearly 10 years to get sanction for 37 designs. There were 8 pending clearances critical for the project. Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy took the initiative while reviewing the project and issued needed policy instructions to speed up the pace. These instructions paved the way for Project Authority under the Central Water Commission to inspect the ground level works. On 8th March, the Project Design Committee extensively discussed the issue and came to a conclusion on the 8 pending designs. After careful consideration, the Dam Design Review Team rejected some earlier propositions suggested by the Polavaram Project Authority. The proposal to construct an earthen bund in the third Gap of Earth cum Rockfill Dam was totally rejected. It made it clear that a concrete structure is more suitable as it would be effectively strong during floods. By giving such freedom to engineering experts, the government made it clear that is taking decisions without any political and contractual interest in this matter. The government also increased pressure on the Committee headed by CWC Chairman Mr A.D. Pandya to speed up the clearance process of project designs. It paved the way for taking decisions of evolving designs for construction of Rockfill Guide Wall on the left bank of Approach Channel and a strong construction toward the left bank to prevent the floodwater intensity. As the flood water released from the Spillway will fall on the right bank, it is proposed to evolve a strong design for that purpose. Government has constituted Expert Committees for evolving such new designs. Project officials have already submitted a design proposal to the Central Water Commission that is intended for works related to diverting the floodwater from Spill Channel to Pilot Channel and finally into the Godavari river. The state government is now putting all its efforts to get clearance for this design as early as possible. The earthen and stone works related to Gap-1 of Main Dam are yet to get clearances. Though these are critical works, they are highly neglected by the previous government. Suitable proposals have also been prepared about the nature of construction in Gap-2. All these initiatives are giving new hope over the timely completion of the Polavaram Project.

Things to Consider When Designing a Pool

Getting a pool for your home needs to be planned well. It’s not just about digging a wide space, putting tiles and filling it with water.

You will be considering certain factors in order to build one and make it effective and efficient. And be just the right pool for your home.

To help you get started, we have this helpful guide on the things you need to consider when designing a pool!

Have a budget.

You need to know your budget so that you could decide how big your pool could be.

This includes the construction and other unexpected expenses that will arrive.

Then, look for a contractor who can do the work for you with the design you like and the budget you have.

Consider the users.

The users are important especially if there are kids.

With kids around, you can make a separate pool for them or you can have a pool with different levels of depth so the kids can enjoy on the shallower part. Well, that still depends on the space you have for the pool. Other pool features will also depend on the users.

Review how you intend to use it.

Are you a swimmer?

If you are and you intend to practice your swimming skills at home, then a lap pool is right for you. But if you just want a pool for the family’s recreation, then you can choose a different type and style of pool.

You can also add a spa if you want if you want to get more relaxation from it.

Choose your pool type and styles.

Based on your budget and style preference, choose the type of pool design you want. You may have a concrete pool, fibreglass pool or vinyl liner pool.

If we speak of the length of time in construction, concrete pools are constructed the longest time. While fibreglass pools and vinyl-tile pools has short construction periods.

Concrete pools can allow you to choose the design you like. They can be finished with colored plaster, marble, ceramic tiles and glass bead.

Fiberglass pools are specially made for your design. It consists of fibreglass shell and will just be brought in your area for installation.

Vinyl-liner pools also allow you to have different designs for your pool wherein the vinyl lining has various colors and patterns.

Consider colors.

If you think that color is no longer important in designing a pool, you are wrong.

You still have to consider it in choosing your tile colors, your surfaces like bricks, accent tiles and even other accessories that you will include.

Choose a shape.

Traditional rectangle-style pool might look boring for you.

So, you can choose the shape that appeals to you and fits your budget. You can also incorporate existing landscape and building features.

You can use a rectangle-shaped pool if your area has angular shapes. And you may use many curves in the shape of the pool if you would like to utilize your area without taking away anything that are existing.

Determine your space.

Look at your available lot area. If you think there is enough space for a pool, then go get one.

Your available space can also tell you what shape and size of pool would be right for your area.

This is the first thing that you need to consider before you even start checking out pool designs that you want.

It is important to consider your available space for pool construction. This will help you to determine your pool design and dimensions.

This way, you do not have to redo your design or waste any materials that you have already bought.

You should also designate a space for your hot tub, patio, deck and other structures that you would like to have.

Allocate space around the pool.

It doesn’t meant that just because you want a pool that you will use all of the space as a pool. There needs to be space around the pool so people can go around it.

Traffic has to be considered on how people will use it. Also, design according to the pool’s usage especially if you intend to put slides, furniture and other stuff around the pool.

Choose pool features.

There are different pool features that you can add.

You can have a fountain, ponds, waterfalls and many others. There are also some items that are made exclusively for the pools like the pool handrails, pool ladders, slides and many others.

Now, think of how you want your pool to look like and which of the items you want to add. This will also be needed for your budgeting.

Place pool accessories.

After completing the design of your pool, you can now think of certain accessories you would like to use.

You may want to places slides especially if there are children in your home.

You can also add boulders and water features that will not only make your pool look good but will also make it more fun.

You may also do some landscaping around the pool to make it look more appealing.

Choose outdoor furniture.

You can get outdoor lounges for your pool or you can also provide a seating area where you can also dine.

Some people really like to eat near the pool area especially that it feels refreshing to be sitting near the water.

Some even place a pergola near the pool where they can put up their own kitchens, bars and dining areas.

Well, this goes back to item number one, it again depends on your available space.

Add a water feature.

Bring the outdoors in by using water features.

This is perfect when you cannot go out to swim since the sun is too brisk. You merely open your windows and you will feel the coldness of the air through water features. It also adds beauty to your pool.

You can use a waterfall that tumbles into the pool, an urn pouring water into a basin, a tropical waterfall oasis, bubblers, spillway of stone, artistic statuaries, laminar jets and spring jets.

Choose a water feature that suits your design and your budget.

Have good landscaping.

You also need to consider your landscape setting. Let your pool design complement with it.

This is the case if your landscaping were fixed first before you had your pool. But if your pool is designed first before the landscaping, then you will have more freedom to decide on the design of the pool.

Whatever comes first, make sure that the landscape and the pool will jive well together.

You can bring nature by the pool through good landscaping. Use larges rocks or boulders on the sides of the pool giving it an effect of being a remote canyon.

You can have some plants around them, too. You may also have a cabana from rustic logs. Be creative in landscaping to make your pool a truly happy place.

Put dramatic lighting.

There are many pool lights that you can use.

Choose in-ground pool lights, above ground pool lights, fiber optics, laminar fountain, spa lighting, lighted floating fountains, and others.

You can place uplights under bushes and place spotlights to highlight focal points.

Consider your safety.

Of course, a well –designed pool is useless if it can create a safety hazard.

If you have children at home, you should see to it that your pool is safe for them. Especially that they will be spending more time in the water.

You can have a separate pool for kids. Make it simple so that it won’t be slippery. Also, do not place decors in kid’s pool to avoid danger.

But even if there are no kids, you should still see to it that everyone using it observe safety pool rules.

When kids are swimming, someone must be watching them. Do not let them go near the drains, too.

Do not bring glass or anything breakable in the pool especially with kids around.

If possible, you can place a fence around your pool. You can even put in some alarms if someone intends to use it without your permission.

It means that you are only steps away to amusement. You will surely feel like all your worries and stress are washed away when you get in the water every time you feel drained from all the day’s work.

Pools can also add beauty to one’s yard apart from a good landscaping. It can somehow be costly, but the happiness and fun the owners and their friends get from them is priceless.

For people who are looking into having a pool at home, we have a good resource of ideas and inspiration for you! Check it here!

Things to Consider When Designing a Pool

Getting a pool for your home needs to be planned well. It’s not just about digging a wide space, putting tiles and filling it with water.

You will be considering certain factors in order to build one and make it effective and efficient. And be just the right pool for your home.

To help you get started, we have this helpful guide on the things you need to consider when designing a pool!

Have a budget.

You need to know your budget so that you could decide how big your pool could be.

This includes the construction and other unexpected expenses that will arrive.

Then, look for a contractor who can do the work for you with the design you like and the budget you have.

Consider the users.

The users are important especially if there are kids.

With kids around, you can make a separate pool for them or you can have a pool with different levels of depth so the kids can enjoy on the shallower part. Well, that still depends on the space you have for the pool. Other pool features will also depend on the users.

Review how you intend to use it.

Are you a swimmer?

If you are and you intend to practice your swimming skills at home, then a lap pool is right for you. But if you just want a pool for the family’s recreation, then you can choose a different type and style of pool.

You can also add a spa if you want if you want to get more relaxation from it.

Choose your pool type and styles.

Based on your budget and style preference, choose the type of pool design you want. You may have a concrete pool, fibreglass pool or vinyl liner pool.

If we speak of the length of time in construction, concrete pools are constructed the longest time. While fibreglass pools and vinyl-tile pools has short construction periods.

Concrete pools can allow you to choose the design you like. They can be finished with colored plaster, marble, ceramic tiles and glass bead.

Fiberglass pools are specially made for your design. It consists of fibreglass shell and will just be brought in your area for installation.

Vinyl-liner pools also allow you to have different designs for your pool wherein the vinyl lining has various colors and patterns.

Consider colors.

If you think that color is no longer important in designing a pool, you are wrong.

You still have to consider it in choosing your tile colors, your surfaces like bricks, accent tiles and even other accessories that you will include.

Choose a shape.

Traditional rectangle-style pool might look boring for you.

So, you can choose the shape that appeals to you and fits your budget. You can also incorporate existing landscape and building features.

You can use a rectangle-shaped pool if your area has angular shapes. And you may use many curves in the shape of the pool if you would like to utilize your area without taking away anything that are existing.

Determine your space.

Look at your available lot area. If you think there is enough space for a pool, then go get one.

Your available space can also tell you what shape and size of pool would be right for your area.

This is the first thing that you need to consider before you even start checking out pool designs that you want.

It is important to consider your available space for pool construction. This will help you to determine your pool design and dimensions.

This way, you do not have to redo your design or waste any materials that you have already bought.

You should also designate a space for your hot tub, patio, deck and other structures that you would like to have.

Allocate space around the pool.

It doesn’t meant that just because you want a pool that you will use all of the space as a pool. There needs to be space around the pool so people can go around it.

Traffic has to be considered on how people will use it. Also, design according to the pool’s usage especially if you intend to put slides, furniture and other stuff around the pool.

Choose pool features.

There are different pool features that you can add.

You can have a fountain, ponds, waterfalls and many others. There are also some items that are made exclusively for the pools like the pool handrails, pool ladders, slides and many others.

Now, think of how you want your pool to look like and which of the items you want to add. This will also be needed for your budgeting.

Place pool accessories.

After completing the design of your pool, you can now think of certain accessories you would like to use.

You may want to places slides especially if there are children in your home.

You can also add boulders and water features that will not only make your pool look good but will also make it more fun.

You may also do some landscaping around the pool to make it look more appealing.

Choose outdoor furniture.

You can get outdoor lounges for your pool or you can also provide a seating area where you can also dine.

Some people really like to eat near the pool area especially that it feels refreshing to be sitting near the water.

Some even place a pergola near the pool where they can put up their own kitchens, bars and dining areas.

Well, this goes back to item number one, it again depends on your available space.

Add a water feature.

Bring the outdoors in by using water features.

This is perfect when you cannot go out to swim since the sun is too brisk. You merely open your windows and you will feel the coldness of the air through water features. It also adds beauty to your pool.

You can use a waterfall that tumbles into the pool, an urn pouring water into a basin, a tropical waterfall oasis, bubblers, spillway of stone, artistic statuaries, laminar jets and spring jets.

Choose a water feature that suits your design and your budget.

Have good landscaping.

You also need to consider your landscape setting. Let your pool design complement with it.

This is the case if your landscaping were fixed first before you had your pool. But if your pool is designed first before the landscaping, then you will have more freedom to decide on the design of the pool.

Whatever comes first, make sure that the landscape and the pool will jive well together.

You can bring nature by the pool through good landscaping. Use larges rocks or boulders on the sides of the pool giving it an effect of being a remote canyon.

You can have some plants around them, too. You may also have a cabana from rustic logs. Be creative in landscaping to make your pool a truly happy place.

Put dramatic lighting.

There are many pool lights that you can use.

Choose in-ground pool lights, above ground pool lights, fiber optics, laminar fountain, spa lighting, lighted floating fountains, and others.

You can place uplights under bushes and place spotlights to highlight focal points.

Consider your safety.

Of course, a well –designed pool is useless if it can create a safety hazard.

If you have children at home, you should see to it that your pool is safe for them. Especially that they will be spending more time in the water.

You can have a separate pool for kids. Make it simple so that it won’t be slippery. Also, do not place decors in kid’s pool to avoid danger.

But even if there are no kids, you should still see to it that everyone using it observe safety pool rules.

When kids are swimming, someone must be watching them. Do not let them go near the drains, too.

Do not bring glass or anything breakable in the pool especially with kids around.

If possible, you can place a fence around your pool. You can even put in some alarms if someone intends to use it without your permission.

Spring Walk

These are seven unedited photos, taken on a spring walk in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside.

All were shot in full manual mode, and are detailed as follows:

1. Compton Pools, towards the dam at Combroke Shot using a tripod with an exposure of 1/60 s at f/11, ISO 200, 24 mm focal length. I wanted to include the fence to draw the eye into the picture, exaggerated further by the tree reaching into the frame.

A circular polarising filter was employed to give a little more punch to the blue in the sky and the reflected water.

2. Compton Pools, looking NE Again, shot using a tripod, with an exposure of 1.6 s (yes, 1.6 s!) at f/18, ISO 50, 29 mm focal length. As well as the polarising filter, a neutral density filter was employed, to soften the ripples in the water - which were quite pronounced, as can be seen from the water surface in the distance - enabling reflections in the water to be captured. The most frustrating thing about this image are the small branches in the top and right of the frame, which I would normally remove using photo editing software.

3. Spring lambs This photo was all about patience and gentleness, not wishing to cause the lambs any undue distress.

It was taken handheld, after a period of about ten minutes of approaching the lambs a few feet at a time, using an exposure of 1/200 s at f/14, ISO 200 at 278 mm focal length.

On definite advantage of the mirrorless camera is that the shutter is virtually silent, but with a 90 - 280 mm lens which is the better part of a foot long, operating it hand-held is not easy.

Given the chance, I’d reshoot this with a smaller aperture (larger f-number), because the eye of the further lamb is slightly out of focus.

4. Capability Brown’s garden, Compton Verney This was shot hand held from the gate next to road bridge on the B4086, as this was the only safe place to shoot on this busy road. Exposure was 1/60 s at f/22, ISO 200, 58 mm focal length.

Again, a polarising filter was in play, but I elected not to go with the ND filter because the soft ripples give the picture a hint of a painting.

I was looking for the rule of thirds, with the bridge placed on the sweet spot 1/3 up and 1/3 in from the right. The V of the reflections is designed to draw the eye into the view.

A couple of things are not good. The people on the bridge give scale, but make it look ugly, and the lifebuoy holder is incongruous, bit does add a splash of red. There is an installation on the right bank which also detracts from the image, and the small bush that is on the bank behind the bridge looks like a smudge (at full resolution, it is actually sharp).

This is the sort of image that would benefit from a little post-processing - to add a bit of pop to the sky, and remove some of the features listed above. However, it’s still a nice view.

5. The road bridge, B4086, Compton Verney There is very little room to photograph this bridge, so I was relatively pleased with this shot.

Using a tripod and the ND filter allowed for an exposure of 0.5 s at f/8, ISO 50 at 24 mm focal length. This was to soften the water and make it look a little more fun.

It’s not the best photo: I should probably have removed the twigs on the ground in the front, and it’s never a great idea to have a strong line - the edge of the spillway, in this case - running into a corner of the picture.

What weakens the picture further are the tops of the trees that peak over the bridge in the distance, and I can easily imagine removing them in Photoshop.

I didn’t have it with me, but I think this would be a great shot with a tilt/shift lens, as I could throw the focal plane to get the line of the bridge in focus and blur the foreground and background.

6. Strangulation These ivy strands caught my attention, and I liked the way they twisted around the trunk. Shot hand held at 1/200 s at f/8, ISO 400 at 24 mm. There’s a certain warmth in the colours from the lat afternoon sun.

I also like the way that the other ivy laden trees are there in the background, but out of focus. So we know what’s going on further up the tree.

I was also careful with the positioning of the tree. The right edge of the trunk is very close to the middle of the frame, acting as a divider between the tangled vines on the left and the trees beyond. 

7. The ‘entmoot’ Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings introduces two extremes of characters: the Hobbits, short and childlike, and the giant tree-like Ents. At one point, two of the hobbits find themselves at an ‘Entmoot’, a meeting of the Ents.

This shot was my envisioning of that meeting from the Hobbits’ perspective, looking up at the Ent’s towering above them. Here the ivy does a good job of representing the Ents’ hair.

Shot hand held, virtually straight up, with an exposure of 1/160 s at f/8, ISO 200, 24 mm length.

The focal length was a deliberate choice, as a short focal length tends to elongate the image, but it also afforded the opportunity to imply that there were more participants.

The Spillway Swimming Pool Feature Explained

The Spillway Swimming Pool Feature Explained

  Deciding to add a pool to your backyard can be a wonderful experience. It is always a good idea to start planning your custom swimming pool before you start. Having a vision of what style of pool you want to be built can help you avoid any surprises during construction. That’s where Clarity Pool Service of Las Vegas is here to help!

We’ll be writing a new article every week until Summer starts, and every week we will cover some of the most popular swimming pool features you can incorporate into your custom pool build. This week we’ll be going in-depth into the “Spillway Swimming Pool Feature.”

The Spillway

The spillway is a classic swimming pool feature that allows one water body to spill or cascade into another. Some examples of spillways you may have seen are the features that enable spas to spill into the main pool area. Sometimes the simple features are the best ones! Not only does this create a calming visual effect, but the sound is truly blissful.

The Stacked Spillway

The Stacked Spillway design allows the water to cascade down a stair-like design. It’s easiest to imagine water spilling down a flight of stairs; these stairs tend to be much smaller in size compared to regular size stairs, though. The best part is you get to select the stone material for the Stacked Spillway.

Beautiful Custom Swimming Pool with Infinity Edge Water Spillway – Design Ideas at Clarity Pool Service  

Negative Edge Spillway

One of the best spillways, in my opinion, is the Negative Edge Spillway. With this feature, you utilize the environment and the surrounding area of the property in most cases. It works best when the pool gets constructed on a slope. The higher the pool is built on the hill, the better the effect. The whole idea is to make the spillway look as if it’s spilling into infinity. That’s the other name to describe this spillway too, which is the Infinity Edge Pool Feature. The photo we’ve included will give you a better idea of just one of the ways this ultra-modern pool feature gets utilized. The Negative Edge Spillway doesn’t necessarily have to use environmental height, either. Some designers use this design to create a mirror-like effect that is breathtaking. When you combine the Negative Edge Spillway with beautiful lighting, this feature is comparable to a work of art, rather than just a swimming pool feature.

Negative Edge Spa Spillway

So, if you’ve ever heard of the infinity swimming pool design, you’ll get the gist of the Infinity spa design feature. The infinity swimming pool feature works best when another body of water sits below it. The body of water allows the mind to imagine that the water is ultimately flowing into it. It’s not always necessary to have a large body underneath the infinity edge, but it sure does add to the effect. The Negative Edge Spa Spillway utilizes the swimming pool as its body of water. It can look spectacular when done correctly.

Reflection Spillway

We briefly touched on the swimming pool feature above. Considered a Negative Edge design, and it is pretty amazing when done correctly. It’s comparable to a mirror when the water is undisturbed. This design allows water to overflow on all sides, which gives it its mirror-like reflective quality.

Reflection Spillway is Comparable to a Mirror-Like Surface – Clarity Pool Service

A Geometric Sleek & Modern Pool with Rain Descent

Geometric Sleek & Modern Pool Design 

Slick and streamlined, this gorgeous geometric, sleek and modern pool is loaded with audible and visual splendor thanks to the contrast of height and shape along with continuous movement of water flowing from the many stunning water features set around the perimeter of the pool and raised spa.

Custom Water Bowls & Rain Descent

The eyes can’t help but be instantly drawn to the 2 raised copper colored water bowls set along one length of the pool. Both square-shaped basins flank an impressive 6′ rain descent which streams a constant flow of cool water into the cerulean waters of this pool. The pool’s interior of pebble and glass silver reserve make the pool sparkle and glow as they reflect the day’s natural light in and around their surroundings. A short distance away is an attached spa with an enviable resort-style 6′ spillway and a shady brown aluminum pergola. Bathers can ease themselves into an ultimate state of relaxation by slipping into its warm waters and listening to flow of H2O from the 6′ rain descent which pours directly from the spa into the pool. Afterwards one can dry off by sprawling out on one of the dazzling white sun loungers set upon the brown faux wood treks under the upper lounge area.

Travertine Decking Finishes the Custom Design

Instant warmth is infused into this landscape thanks to the natural travertine decking and coping of various sandy browns, beige and grays. The pairing of lush tropical foliage and tall palm trees make this refreshing spot an idyllic backyard oasis. Wondering what your backyard would look like with a custom, modern pool and spa from All Seasons Pools?
