"Consider these zero-risk water features for your garden:
1. **Self-Contained Fountains**: Small, low-level fountains with no deep water.
2. **Water Gardens**: Shallow ponds with aquatic plants, avoiding deep areas.
3. **Pebble Pools**: Flat, shallow areas of water over pebbles for a natural look.
4. **Bird Baths**: Shallow bowls of water for birds, with no deep sections.
5. **Cascading Waterfalls**: Small, gentle waterfalls that flow over rocks, creating a safe environment.
Ensure all features are shallow and supervised to maintain safety."
