Actually, you are correct, and I am surprised. I TEACH LNT, and when I double-checked the text it doesn't specifically address urination, but it does address wastewater (I do cover proper locations for urination in my classes).
Except for the food chunks, I would consider urine as wastewater, wouldn't you? Yeah, I know it's usually sterile, but I still don't want to have to drink it downstream. Please, get 200' away from water sources.
What is LNT?
What about water that is destined to flow into the ocean... small seasonal creeks that are really street drains that run through some parks and wild areas? I am sure these are NOT "water sources," at least to humans.
