Water Fountain vs. Water Dish for cat?

My cat drinks water out of a clean bowl, which I clean and fill at least once a day. I don't know if my cat would like a water fountain, but I don't think I would want the constant sound of running water in my home.

I find it interesting that a cat could fall asleep next to a fountain. Most cats do not like getting wet and I would have thought a cat would only approach the fountain when thirsty.

I can see how it could be healthier for a cat to drink moving water than water that has been stagnant for hours. I can also believe that it would encourage a cat to drink more water, which has to be good for cat health.
