Our friend Byran Kennedy posted some documentation of a project he’s been working on called Rain Table:

Eventually the table will be part of an exhibit called Water: H20 = Life, which the Science Museum is working on with the American Museum of Natural History. Unlike some other tables we’ve profiled that seem to exist just for the sake of the cool-factor, this one really does look like a table is a great solution to interaction. This is especially true as the distribution of water becomes a more volatile issue due to global warming and changing weather patterns.
