Tapped-into water-bearing rock (7)

I believe the answer is:

aquifer

(Other definitions for aquifer that I've seen before include "Water-carrying layer of rock" , "it holds water" , "Water-holding rock" , "Rock containing water" , "Water-bearing rock formation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
