# Fountaineer
Fountaineer is a portmanteau of "Fountain" and "Engineer" – Hydraulic engineer.
Fountaineer describes one who designs, explores, or is passionate about fountains and their design, operation, and use. In addition, the Fontainiers made the water pipes from lead, the restoration of which, from the point of view of monument preservation, is the responsibility of today's fountain masters.
