Abstract

The chapter delves into the overlooked ecological importance of urban fountains, which serve as unique habitats for diverse aquatic communities, including insects like Chironomidae. Despite their simplicity, fountains support complex invertebrate communities and play a crucial role in urban biodiversity. The study reviews the environmental settings and biota of fountains, presenting new data from Balkan fountains and discussing the challenges and significance of these urban water bodies in ecological and public health contexts.
