TL;DR
A study suggests that Montreal's leaky pipes might be unintentionally benefiting urban trees by providing extra water, keeping them healthier and greener. The leaks, typically seen as a problem, may help sustain trees during dry periods. However, it's unclear whether this is an overall beneficial or harmful situation due to the potential wastage of water. This highlights a need for a balanced approach to managing urban water infrastructure and tree maintenance.
