Rashi, Numbers 20:2
ולא היה מים לעדה: מכאן שכל ארבעים שנה היה להם הבאר בזכות מרים:
“…had no water” From here [we learn that] all forty years they had the well in Miriam’s merit. [Ta’anith 9a] [translation by Judaica Press]

Suggested Discussion Questions:

Why do you think G-d removed the water source after Miriam's death?
