The well water starts to run out, every day people only get a few buckets of water, they have to go down the hill to get water from water springs.

The trunks look strong and healthy because during the hot season, they receive plenty of sun light. The color is bright golden brown, have no marks of decease and the roots are on the ground also look strong.
