Yes, some aquifers are not replenished, and consist of finite quantities of water.They are sometimes called fossil aquifers. More commonly though, aquifers have inflow and outflow, although these flow rates can vary. If the extraction rate is faster than than the replenishment rate an aquifer can and does become depleted..
