Well, some lakes and rivers do dry up. For example, much of the deep bore water in Australia last fell as rain thousands or millions of years ago.
The Great Artesian Basin underlies about one fourth of Australia, and is being mined faster than it is being replaced! Up to 2 million years old!
At Birdsville, the water temp is over 90oC, and is used as a source of geothermal energy.
The Caspian Sea has dried significantly, due to extraction of water for irrigation. A major ecological catastrophe.

Does Afghanistan have many lakes and rivers?
The Hamun-i-Helmand ( Sīstān Lake), which straddles the border between Afghanistan and Iran - however there are serious environmental problems that are causing it to dry up.
What makes up the surface waters in the hydrosphere?
Surface waters in the hydrosphere are made up of oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, and streams. These bodies of water are interconnected through the water cycle, with water evaporating from oceans and lakes, forming clouds, and eventually falling back to the surface as precipitation.
What is the definition of the water cycle collection?
water that falls back to earth as precipitation, it may fall back in the oceans, lakes or rivers or it may end up on land. When it ends up on land, it will either soak into the earth and become part of the "ground water" that plants and animals use to drink, or it may run over the soil and collect in the oceans, lakes or rivers.
