A comparison of the Air Force Water Spray Tanker artificial drizzle cloud distributions to the natural environment

Though artificial design effecting environment is supposed to be significant in environment design, we emphasized how artistic conception expression of water spray morphology expressed in environment design combining the case that Chinese Meishan cultural eco-garden landscape design. We hope natural environment factors would be more considered in future environmental design and better utilize natural environment to improve human artistic sensibilities by enhancing design environment.
