Mr. Nelson Barbosa at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thanks for the question.

Sources of water can be water where—I'm trying to find it without the word—sources of water where drinking water is obtained. These can be aquifers or groundwater. Sometimes it's lakes. It varies considerably. Sometimes it actually refers to the source or the genesis of where water comes from. Groundwater is anything under the ground. It's inclusive of that term but not solely source water.
