I remember watching a t.v. Show about the difficulties of pumping concrete while building the worlds tallest buildings. Interesting stuff

Very interesting and well explained.

I once new a land owner who had a spring with three oak trees around it. He knew the oak trees were using hundreds of gallons of water a day each and he wanted all that water to go into his holding tank not up the trees. He cut down the trees.....spring dried up.

Trees have a phenomenal sucking/drawing action.
