Album caption and index card: Typical tebeldi tree in the "qoz" sand country between An Nahud and Khuwayy (Khuwei) in central Mudirifat Kurdufan. This tree like many others in the region has been hollowed out to form a living tank for long-term storage of drinking water. Such storage is drawn upon in time of drought. Storage is replenished by lifting hand line and bucket collected surface water which accumulates around the tree during rainy seasons. Sudan. n.d. Published as figure 35 in U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 911. 1976.
