I'm not an expert but decreasing access to water is a real thing I have seen with my own eyes. The places which used to have plenty of underground water are now dry and there's no water coming from under the ground. Similarly there are places with natural water flow which has just stopped.

The steady extraction of water from aquifers adds to the reason behind ground water drying up in some places. I was just thinking of an artisian well in my area that pumps on its own nonstop, morning till night. And it's always wasting, people go there to wash legs, and fetch for usage, such water are also good for consumption, but, while it wastes it reduces the rate of water in the ground.
