potable water, 음수대
A water fountain is a public facility that provides clean drinking water. They are commonly found in schools and parks.
They are especially useful during hot weather when exercising or taking a walk. It's good for the environment to use water fountains instead of disposable cups.
음수대는 깨끗한 물을 마실 수 있는 공공 시설입니다. 학교나 공원에서 쉽게 볼 수 있어요.
더운 날씨에 운동하거나 산책할 때 특히 유용합니다. 환경을 생각해서 일회용 컵 대신 음수대를 이용하면 좋아요.
The culture of water fountains dates back to ancient Rome. Back then, they were an important part of the city's water supply system, and you can still see many historic water fountains on the streets of Rome today.
Modern water fountains have evolved into various forms, prioritizing hygiene and convenience. Recently, there has been an increase in refill stations for water bottles and smart water fountains with purification functions. They are particularly gaining attention as an alternative to reduce the use of single-use plastics for environmental protection.
