You sure can.

The tap you descirbed is called a "bib" which is used to wash driveway, cars and watering plants.

A tap is where one would get the water for drinking purpose.

When you turn on a tap/ faucet, you don't have to say "water dropped". By the way,

this is a picture of a problematic situation. If you turn on a faucet and the only water you see is in drops.
