dripping water

Slow persistent leak

Water falling in drops, typically from a leak, faucet, or wet surface.

The phrase often emphasizes the slow, persistent nature of the flow: The dripping water kept me awake all night.

It can suggest neglect or disrepair, or simply describe condensation or runoff: Dripping water from the eaves formed icicles.
