FROM ACTION TO DISCOVERY
How the interaction works
Watch each spill
As a basin fills, streams pass from its spill points into the next level.
Follow the final return
The lowest basin releases water back into the receiving area.
A CLOSER LOOK
Perspective render
Explore the arrangement of four descending clear basins with colourful rims, steel supports and connecting water streams.
LEARNING THROUGH PLAY
What visitors can discover
This concept brings gravity, overflow and connected systems into a shared water-table setting. Visitors can explore the idea at their own pace and compare what they notice with a partner.
Gravity
Water moves from higher basins toward lower ones.
Overflow
The position of an outlet helps determine when water leaves a vessel.
Connections
A change at the top travels through the sequence below.
PART OF A BIGGER WATER TABLE
Planning Cascading Water Basins
Keep the supply control at the rim and preserve clear sightlines between basins. Set basin heights, spill alignment and splash capture as one system.
The arrangement can be developed for a museum, science centre or play space as part of a custom water table. Final dimensions, materials and operating performance are established during design and engineering.
