The Wall of Water is a fountain on the Oregon State Capitol grounds, in Salem, Oregon, United States.[1]

It was installed in 1990 along Court Street across from the building's main entrance,[2] and its plaza features engraved slabs about Oregon's folklore and history.[3] The fountain uses recycled water and can shoot 12 feet into the air.[4]
