Lakes and streams require pulling a draft and are considered what type of water source?

The correct answer is that lakes and streams are considered a static water source. Static water sources are bodies of water that do not have a current or flowing action, which means they do not change significantly over time. Lakes and ponds are classified as such because their water level may fluctuate with rainfall or evaporation but they generally maintain a relatively stable body of water.

In contrast, dynamic water sources, such as rivers or streams in full flow, have moving water that can present different challenges in drafting techniques. On-site water sources refer to situations in which water is readily available at or near the location of use, but that term is broader and may not specifically refer to lakes and streams. Natural water sources encompass various bodies of water including lakes, rivers, and streams, but when specifically discussing the type that requires pulling a draft, static is the most appropriate classification, as it emphasizes the stability of the water body needed for effective drafting operations.
