City of Fountains - USA

"City of Fountains" is the official nickname of Kansas City, Missouri.  Water fountains are part of Kansas City's core identity and culture. They're such an iconic feature of the city that in 1992, the city added "City of Fountains" to its official corporate seal. 
Nova, one of my penpals in USA, heard about the fires in Portugal, and she decided to send some water.

 
There are 200 officially registered fountains in the metropolitan Greater Kansas City area.
In a design vision dating back to the 1800s, Kansas City was imagined with “more boulevards than Paris, more fountains than Rome.” Much of Kansas City’s history is reflected in a century of fountain development.Fountains were initially established to fill the needs of people and animals and later as beautification, memorials and celebrations. - in
