Fascinating about what can be found below the streets and pavements.
Exactly how plants detect water and direct root growth towards the water (hydrotropism) is still surprisingly elusive. Why not 'hearing'!
If you are interested this paper gives a nice history and overview of how the ideas about this developed and moves into the current ideas, which is heavier going.
Its link with gravitropism reminded me of experiments I got involved with that needed a zero gravity system in a growth room.
