It is a major problem because they cannot predict exactly the amount of withdrawals that may happen on a particular day. Let us say a bank branch expects deposits of 10 lacs and withdrawals of 25 lacs tomorrow, they would arrange for atleast 20 lacs to be available in their vaults for tomorrow. But suppose, tomorrow the withdrawal requests came up to Rs. 50 lacs then the bank would be short of cash and they may have to refuse withdrawal requests of its customers. Hence have enough cash to meet its liquidity requirements is a big challenge for banks.

Who creates bad banks?
By "bad banks" I assume you mean banks that are in financial trouble. Such banks are referred to as "problem banks" by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) which regulates banks and insures customer deposits up to specified limits. Despite the recovery in the economy since the financial crisis there are still 467 banks on the confidential FDIC Problem Bank List as of the latest reporting period. The FDIC makes an assessment of a bank's financial condition and assigns a CAMELS rating of 1 to 5 with 5 being the worst rating. CAMELS stands for capital adequacy, asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity, and sensitivity to market risk. Banks usually get into trouble by making poor lending decisions. Losses on defaulted loans can deplete a bank's capital to the extent that regulators are forced to close the bank to protect depositors.
