Abstraction from the completed borehole draws water from bedrock and is limited by its transmissive properties. The storativity is greatly enhanced, however, as the bedrock fractures draw on water in storage in the shallow gravels and sands, and they in turn may draw from the surface water course flowing down the valley ([[Hydrogeology of Wales: References|'''Robins et al., 2000''']]).
