drying up of public fountains

without comments

An interesting idea of how we are seeing less and less of public fountains plainly because the concept of “public” is no longer relevant. I blame the internet and the myriad of  ways that we can now connect and communicate without being in each other’s spaces/faces. This article makes an interesting point comparing public fountains to bottled french spring waters, but I am quite sure that the implications go way deeper than that.
