Groundwater aquifers recharge very slowly even in flood conditions since groundwater moves VERY Slowly through rocks and overburden. It may take 1000 years to fill an aquifer but they can be pumped dry much quicker. For example imagine a bucket full of water where you drain 1 pint a year, but can only add back 1/100th of a pint a year.
