yes, if the water is drinkable, I would go with amenity=drinking_water, if it 
isn’t, maybe watering_place with drinking_water=no? Or if animals can’t drink 
it either, amenity=fountain seems ok. 

In general I believe we should have a property like trough=yes for situations 
where the water is collected in a trough and accessible to animals.

Feel free to make up a generic fountain tag for this kind of fountain.

If the water comes from a spring in loco, natural=spring should also be added
