The water should go into the ground, not down the rivers!

Reporting from north eastern Germany: there's tons of water going in the ground here. More than I personally like. It's been raining on/off for two weeks straight.

Yes, but its not filling up the Groundwater sufficiently, it stays pretty much at the top and doesn't go deeper

I read recently that Germany is missing so much groundwater in some regions, that it would have to rain constantly for a year and a half just to get refilled.
