The fountain is a huge jet of water that rises up to 140 meters into the air. The powerful pumps pump out 500 liters of water every second at a speed of 200 km/h and create a wonderful atmosphere. In good weather, a rainbow appears on the water, and it is very beautiful. The water jet can be seen from quite a distance, including from an airplane (up to 10,000 meters high).
