The device of  claim 8  wherein said substantially concave shaped inner surface of said first member both aerating and uniformly dispersing a stream of water thereby cleaning an inner surface of said sink basin and accelerating flow of said stream of water into a drain hole of said sink basin.  
   
   
       11 . The device of  claim 8  wherein said substantially concave shaped inner surface of said opposite end of said water dispersion device coupled to a portion of said surface of said cap of said drain plug by suction.  
   
   
       12 . The device of  claim 8  wherein said opposite end of said second member comprising a substantially flexible material.  
   
   
       13 . The device of  claim 8  wherein said end of said first member comprising a substantially rigid material.  
   
   
       14 . A water dispersion drain device of a sink basin having a drain hole comprising, in combination: 
 an elongated member and a head member;    an inner surface of a portion of an end of said head member having a substantially concave shape, and an outer surface of a portion of an opposite end of said head member coupled to an end of said elongated member, said head member dispersing a stream of water uniformly when said stream of water is directed onto said substantially concave shaped inner surface;    a portion of an opposite end of said elongated member having at least one opening, said at least one opening adapted to couple to an actuator for selectively moving said water dispersion drain device to open and close said drain hole of said sink basin.    
   
   
       15 . The device of  claim 14  further comprising a plurality of elongated ribs located on a portion of said elongated member.  
   
   
       16 . The device of  claim 14  comprising a substantially rigid material selected from the group consisting of a plastic, a composite plastic and a metal.  
   
   
       17 . The device of  claim 14  wherein said substantially concave shaped inner surface of said end of said head member both aerating and uniformly dispersing a stream of water, thereby cleaning an inner surface of said sink basin and accelerating flow of said stream of water into a drain hole of said sink basin.  
   
   
       18 . A method for cleaning both a sink basin and a drainpipe of the sink basin having a drain hole, comprising the steps of: 
 providing a water dispersion device having a first member and a second member, an inner surface of a portion of an end of said first member having a substantially concave shape, said end of said first member dispersing a stream of water uniformly when said stream of water is directed onto said substantially concave shaped inner surface of said portion of said end of said first member, and a portion of an opposite end of said first member having an opening, a portion of an end of said second member having a protrusion, said protrusion of said second member adapted to couple to said opening of said portion of said opposite end of said first member, an inner surface of a portion of an opposite end of said second member having a substantially concave shape;    coupling said opening of said opposite end of said first member to said protrusion of said end of said second member;    coupling said substantially concave shaped inner surface of said portion of said opposite end of said second member to a portion of a surface of a cap of a drain plug of a sink basin;    directing a stream of water flowing from a faucet of said sink basin onto said concave shaped inner surface of said portion of said end of said first member;    aerating and uniformly dispersing said stream of water to clean an inner surface of said sink basin;    accelerating flow of said stream of water into said drain hole of said sink basin, thereby cleaning said drainpipe of said sink basin; and    decreasing overall water usage by efficiently cleaning said inner surface of said sink basin and said drainpipe of said sink basin.
