Leonhard Christoph Sturm's 1720 Augsburg treatise on hydraulic engineering, building on Nikolaus Goldmann's text, sets out how to locate water-works, pipelines, fountains and cisterns for German-speaking engineers and builders. Its engraved plates show garden and building plans with fountain basins and paths, alongside a water-wheel diagram and elevations of undershot and overshot wheels, offering designers clear geometric layouts of formal gardens and mechanical spoked-wheel forms.
