Someone may know the answer...

I'm watching the movie "Pride & Prejudice" right now - the 2005 version, not the BBC version with Colin Firth . This takes place in Georgian England, 1813 I believe.

In the scene I just watched, Elizabeth is gazing out a window overlooking the beautiful grounds of a vast estate. It is a sunny day, and there is a large fountain spraying a plume of water directly out of the ground.

How is it possible for there to be a such a fountain in a time when electricity and sophisticated plumbing have yet to be invented? Am I missing something major, or did the director just fall asleep on this one?

I'm certain someone here will know the answer...
