Rain doesn’t come that often, so I can’t imagine how there could be enough to constantly keep the groundwater and aquifers flowing strong. I know there are some other sources like snowmelt too, but rain is the main one and I don’t see it being substantial enough to be able to bring that much water.

If you’re near any sort of river or lake system, water will also filter in from there. However, in a lot of places, there’s major problems that there isn’t enough rain to refill the aquifers. Large sections of California are sinking by several inches a year because the aquifers are being depleted so quickly
