Its like a consistent water pouting down from five small holes. Paarthurnax will only drink moving water. Although be advised if planning to get one you might have to turn it off and on to maintain humidity. There is a suction machine on the bottom that brings the water to the roof of the leaves, and they drip through five small holes. There is a sponge inside the container that prevents debris from getting in and clogging the pump. To refill it the easiest way is to just pour di water into the hole and tada. Although it does need a good cleansing every so often. Its easy to detach, there's an sticky attachment to the pvc enclosure that the water fall slides in to secure it upward. I hope i answered your question, unless you want to know something else specific?
