Boring holes will definitely make the roots nearer to the source of water. But in very dry areas, where water is very scarce, it would be hard to sustain the life of a tree. Only if that area is an area where rainfall happens almost every week would it be possible to make that tree grow. Flowing ground water won't be sufficient.
