Final results from this study are still pending, but preliminary indications are that the trees use a combination of sources, and that those currently showing the highest mortality (Fever Trees and Ana Trees) do make use of the alluvial aquifer during the dry season. Whether water abstraction by Venetia is causing a shortage of water for these trees cannot yet be confirmed.
