Abstract: The disclosed technology can be used to implement water movement effects (e.g., water fountains) in a water feature (e.g., bird baths) by, for example, submersing one or more solar cells below a surface of the water in the water feature to convert light energy received thereby into electrical energy sufficient to directly or indirectly drive a pump (which may also, but need not, be submersible below the water surface) that provides a hydraulic pressure/suction that forms a desired water movement effect.
