So the fix is to your low humidity is to reduce the heat leaks. In other words, stop all sources of air infiltration, and insulate, insulate, insulate.

The air infiltration is correct.
The furnace does NOT remove humidity from the air. If it did, you see the condensate draining like when A/C use removes humidity.
The water fountain idea will work, but at that point you are just reinventing the wheel as a modern humidifier will be easy to use, fill, efficient, etc.
