Hello, You can create a POI category for water points, unfortunately it's quite hidden (as many osmand features). I just made a video showing how to create it : https://youtu.be/FSCL8xe4L8Y
Many potentially drinkable water are not classified as drinking water, but as long as you have a water filter (such as lifestraw) you don't mind much about it. For my last trekking I created one poi category with: - drinking water, water springs, water well, and even watering places (abreuvoir) Finally, I enabled the osm editing plugin, and every time I found a spring or water fountain I added it so that other people can find it in the future (you can even create a quick action for that) You can also click in the POI, go to details and you will have a link to osmand with all the labels, and if specified you will have the "seasonal" tag. Best regards .
