From the Paper:

"Ultimately they can be beautiful and are often used as a focal point of many public parks, yards and even private building landscapes. Point State Park, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has a very large, considered "spectacular fountain", which is viewable from three sides of the city (Morgan 78). In fact this fountain is considered the Golden Gate Bridge of Pittsburgh. Regardless, these are elaborate fountains, which are not very practical from the everyday person's perspective. Yes, they are relaxing in their sight and sound as well as just being appealing in the freshness that they provide. However, this type of fountain is not one from which we would take a large drink to quench our thirst. These are left to the more crude but useful version of fountains known simply as the "drinking fountain"."
