It takes time to soak in.

"Scientists say the water in the Floridan aquifer is 50 to 26,000 years old. The age of the water varies because of the time it takes water to seep through different types of soil. Sandy soils are most suited to allowing water to seep into the ground, while soils such as clay are more difficult to penetrate. Water’s downward movement is measured in inches per year and horizontally in feet per year." From link.
