So the best way to combat this situation is have a small balcony garden and give up the extensive garden water features for the smaller and more compact water features.

The fountain is also the most common water garden features, which can be used in all sizes and shapes of gardens. The size of the garden has little impact on the size of the fountain.

The other great garden water features, which can be used in any garden, is birdbath. The birds will come to the birdbath and splash the water and so the birdbaths are best placed in the balcony.
