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.

Which is long overdue. Yeah, it's not exactly inviting "let's spend the day outside" summer weather, but we've effectively had several years of drought, the rain is desperately needed.
