Now, desert plants would naturally retain this primitive tendency in a very high degree; for they are specially organized to resist drought being the survivors of generations of drought-proof ancestors and, like the camel, they have often to struggle on through long periods of time without a drop of water. Exactly the same thing happens at home to many of our pretty little European stone-crops.

Although not drought-proof like the artesian, a dug well, which costs much less, can be an excellent water source and supply amazingly large quantities of water.
