Thirsty (and out of water), I stopped by a water fountain which – to my disappointment – didn’t work.
Fortunately, beside it was a second fountain that did.
I took a good drink from it, then filled up my water jug as well.
The stream was slow,
but consistent:
My estimate was around a gallon per minute.
Had this one been left on all day, as opposed to the other that couldn’t be turned on, it would produce 1440 gallons of water per day …
Or in more handy units:
About 34 forty two and a half gallon water barrels.
That’s four times the 6 water barrels I drink per year …
I’m just glad not to have to fill them up at the water fountain every time I’m thirsty.
