I had a thought, why not make the basin a bit deeper, maybe

Really no more effective than lying within reach of a sprinkler, I
don't think, but with a little less caché.

Sprinkler is probably cold water. . . can't read there. . . dilutes
your beer/beverage. . . wastes water. . . can't be home to water
plants or water-life. . . and of course the caché is worth
something.
