put in a backyard fountain

I like the fountain and the sound of running water. The cats always have water to drink as well. The only downside is that it needs to be filled during the summer and I have to watch or mosquitos lay eggs in the fountain. That just means that I need to turn it on more often.

Hearing the sound of water falling is very soothing. Nice to have in a corner area of your house or the backyard. In my case I want to install something unique but practical. Terra cota types are nice.

Any tips?
