A single drinking fountain can make a difference.
Public water is more useful when we know where to find it and what information is available.
Accessible springs
Natural sources open to the public; check local notices and information.
Public water dispensers
Dedicated water stations, with their own conditions of use.
Refill points
Publicly accessible places where you can refill a reusable bottle.
