Water Basin
An abreuvoir is a watering trough, fountain, or other installed basin: originally intended to provide humans and/or animals a rural or urban watering place with fresh drinking water. They were often located at springs. In pre-automobile era cities they were built as equestrian water troughs for horses providing transportation. In contemporary times abreuvoirs are also seen as civic or private fountains in the designed townscape-landscape.
