Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The water will be used by the plants sooner or later so their basic metabolic needs can be achieved. Also, the plants will loose their water by transpiration, in order to produce their carbohydrates. Therefore the amount of water will not be enough and has to be replenished.
