sink
A sink (also known by other names including sinker, washbowl, hand basin and wash basin) is a plumbing fixture used for washing hands, dishwashing, and other purposes. Sinks have taps that supply 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.
