Why is there more groundwater found in the country than in the city that gets the exact same amount of precipitation?

Answer 1

2 words: sewer systems.

Your answer is not very clear.

Try this one: Cities are usually built up areas with storm drainage systems to carry the water away rather than allow it to soak into the ground. Sewage systems also carry the water somewhere else where it is usually allowed to empty into a river or other body of water (after treatment). Acres of parking lots and streets block access to the soil so no absorption there either. Basically the rain can't get to the dirt, add that to the wells sucking the water out from under the city and the water table will eventually fall to some degree unless the surrrounding area has enough water coming in to it to replenish that under the city.

Answer 2

Groundwater in rural areas has less human disturbance, allowing water to percolate deeper into the ground and replenish aquifers. In contrast, urban areas have more impermeable surfaces like roads and buildings that prevent water from infiltrating the ground, leading to more runoff and less groundwater recharge.
