These water fountains flow constantly with fresh drinking water for anyone to use and they are everywhere in Rome. Covering the spout with your finger forces the water out a hole on top, creating a arch of water at perfect πΌπ΅πΎπ»πΉπ²π·π° height. The Romans were/are with us.
That's a whole lot of wasted drinking water when a modern drinking fountain would prevent the waste
Clean drinking water is not a scarcity everywhere. I'm pretty sure Rome would shut these down if that was the case.
Water treatment still costs something
Egh, a drinking fountain still sucks... better be a water faucet with control if I'm bein' honest
Then, I can fill up my water.
You can fill your bottle from these. I'd mark them along my cycling routes and fill up.
