Sink

A sink is a bowl-shaped plumbing fixture for washing hands, dishwashing, and other purposes. Sinks have a tap (faucet) that supplies hot and cold water and may include a spray feature to be used for faster rinsing. They also include a drain to remove used water; this drain may itself include a strainer and/or shut-off device and an overflow-prevention device.

Sinks may also have an integrated soap dispenser.
Many sinks, especially in kitchens, are installed adjacent to or inside a counter.
