well, from my experience, no.  i have five ferrets and four of them gently
lap from the side of the bowl, but nero insists that he must lean over the
entire bowl and splash the water into his mouth from the other side.  he
makes an utter mess and is soaking wet all down his stomach afterwards.
i have no clue why he does it, he just does.  we have the bowl(a big dog
bowl) on a plastic mat that you would use for a dish rack.  that, at least,
keeps most of the water off the floor!
