In open fields some rain water makes its way through the ground to the water table. Other water drains across the fields to streams. Some of that water drains down to the water table. Many cities no longer permit rain water to percolate into the water table but divert it to storm sewers. That water then goes either to rivers downstream or out to the ocean.
