During the wet season, these plants can store as much as 10 percent of the annual [[Precipitation (meteorology)|precipitation]] as deep as 13 meters (43 feet) underground, to be tapped during the dry months... tree roots acting like pipes to allow water to shift around much faster than it could otherwise [[percolate]] through the [[soil]]. }}
