There is a very useful subject heading to use for locating books in HOLLIS -- "water in landscape architecture". You might want to try that as a phrase search, with the quotes in HOLLIS Classic, which supports phrase searching.

You might also want to consult the following book in our Reference collection, located behind the "New Book" display in the library, next to the DVD's:

Encyclopedia of gardens: history and design
Call Number: Reference SB465 .E63 2001

For articles on this topic, you might consider a cross search of the Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals (1930-) (EBSCO),Art Index Retrospective (1929-1984), and Art Full Text (1983-) - all are available from EBSCO.
