Natural aquifer recharge occurs after it rains or after snow melts. It's also possible for rivers and lakes to aid in this process.
An aquifer is an underground stream. It gathers water from rainstorms, snowstorms, and water discharged from homes and farms.
Increased use of water by a growing population can deplete the underground aquifer and lower the water table faster than it can be naturally replenished.Extended drought over the recharge zone can prevent an aquifer from replenishing its water supply.
Not naturally.
they drill a well. Or collect water from naturally occurring springs
It is important because you get what we have going now in California and that is a drought. Cities and towns are running out of water, the rivers and lakes are drying up, farmers are not planting crops because of no water. All of this is happening because we didn't protect the aquifer and recharge it.
Aquifers are important because they provide a source of clean, filtered water. They use sand and soil to naturally filter water as it is collected.
It is a strong aquifer that is well recharged and dischcarged
Other parts of land that isn't having a drought, water soaks into the ground and if its on a hill then the water will run down it and fill up the water table that are dry.
The aquifer cannot be recharged fast enough

A spring.
Not naturally.
According to newarkadvocate.com, "Pataskala gets its drinking water from an aquifer located more than 100 feet beneath the ground. It is recharged [. . .] by rain and water flowing from the South Fork of the Licking River."
Usually from naturally occurring deposits of arsenic ore in the aquifer.

Yes be it a spring, a swamp, a sinkhole, a gyser or mt St Helens
Deserts are naturally in a perpetual state of drought.
An underground aquifer would provide the best protection against a water shortage caused by drought.
