After you drink from it, a sparkling fountain has a 10% chance of drying up. If that does not occur, there's then a 20% chance of it permanently becoming a fountain of clear blue water.

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.
