He has devoted much of his life to research and teaching. He is the author of several websites, teaching materials, articles and various technical papers. Of them all, and given its close ties with the subject of this technical blog, we would like to highlight his book on the "Hidráulica de Fuentes Ornamentales (Hydraulics of Architectural Fountains)", published in 1998. In 2011, he brought out an updated version, extended to include Water Games, Slides and Spas: "Hidráulica de Fuentes Ornamentales e instalaciones acuáticas (the Hydraulics of Architectural Fountains and Water Features)". He is currently preparing an English edition under the title "Water Fountains. Art and Technology”.

List of professional articles and papers:

• Hydraulics of Water Fountains/ Open Course Ware. The composition of a fountain in our times has to be a blend of rigorous artistic labor with visual creativity and technology in order to enhance the perception of "permanent" time in a physical area.


• Website on the hydraulics of water fountains, originally produced in 1998, it is inspired on the motto: ‘If you have learned something and not passed it on ... you run the worst of risks: to know you are wise but also … bogged down’, written from the viewpoint of ‘technology … at the service of the artist’s imagination’
