If you drink from a fountain too many times, it will become a dry fountain. These may eventually flow again given enough time (1% chance every 20 turns), becoming whatever kind of fountain they were beforehand. However, some fountains are simply generated dry, and these will never flow.

Version 0.31: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Fountains are a Dungeon feature often found in many vaults. They are mostly decorative.

Water-filled fountains act as proper water tiles for many purposes. They allow aquatic creatures to swim, extinguish sticky flame, and generate steam and freezing vapour when fire and ice spells are cast over them. Fountains won't have any of penalties from shallow water, however.
