Yes, quite definitely a water tap!

    How you would then distinguish

    and

I wouldn't! I'd call them both a tap.

    (upward tiny flow vs downward flow that basically always is more
    significant)


For the purpose of a water tap, the amount of flow is basically irrelevant, just so long as you can get water from it as required.


A shower too would have a water tap. We don't add that tag to the shower .. so why would we to a bubbler? Should we not try to keep it simple?

Decorative fountains (what I would simply call a fountain) would also have a tap .. but not normally used by the public .. and plumbers would call it a 'stop cock' in Australia.
