The Huge WATER FOUNTAIN on the Lake Geneva Switzerland 🇨🇭 Le Jet d'Eau(Water Jet) a symbol, a Story

Tourists come every year from all over the world to admire the Jet d'Eau, literally meaning 'water jet', is the huge Fountain on the Lake Geneva, in the city of Geneva, Switzerland. Jet d'Eau is one of the tallest fountains in the world.

The world-famous Jet d'Eau dates back to the 19th century. Its white plume rises 140m into the air from a stone jetty on the lakeside at Eaux-Vives; that is about 50m higher than the Statue of Liberty.

Turned on each morning by caretakers whose job it is to keep the fountain working, the Jet d'Eau is one of the city's most famous landmarks, and is considered to symbolize the city's ambition and vitality – a mark of its international status.

With its modernized mechanism, the watery plume now achieved a height of 140m. 500 liters of water per second is expelled at a speed of 200km/h.
