  1. The connect is Water Entertainment Technologies.

    The pictures are of (In clockwise direction):

    1) Dubai Fountain, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

    2) The Fountains of Bellagio, Las Vegas, Nevada

    3) The Mirage Volcano (updated version), Las Vegas, Nevada

    All these fountains are designed by WET (Water Entertainment Technologies), also known as WET Design. It is a water feature design firm based in Los Angeles, California, founded in 1983 by former Disney Imagineers Mark Fuller, Melanie Simon, and Alan Robinson.

    In addition to its focus on design, WET has pioneered many of the technologies that have since become common in fountains built around the world, by others as well as WET. These technologies include laminar flow fountains, fountains that arise from the pavement instead of from pools, fountains powered by compressed air instead of pumps, and fountains employing sophisticated underwater robots.

    Keep the quizzer alive :)
