Why was the reflection pool in Washington DC constructed?

A reflecting pool or reflection pool is a structure often used in memorials. It generally consists of a shallow pool of water, usually quite calm. A design with edges being slightly deeper than the center of the pool is often used to suppress wave formation. It is designed to inspire solemnity and, as its name implies, reflection.
