How were water fountains built before the advent of electricity?

Asked by DaphneT (5750points) July 7th, 2012

Many of the old and large homes and estates built before electricity in Italy, Great Britain, Newport Rhode Island, etc. have water fountains in their gardens, how did they build them? What was the secret to circulating the water or pumping it ‘upwards’?
