Evidence Based Strategies

  • Install drinking fountains in parks, playgrounds, gyms, and public spaces.

Best Practice Strategies

  • Install drinking fountains or water coolers along commonly used corridors to make water more visible and accessible.
  • Provide taps on drinking fountains or stand-alone filling stations to make filling reusable water bottles easier.
  • Connect drinking-water filters to sink faucets so people feel comfortable drinking straight from the tap.
