It may not reach _your_ aquifer but it's gotta go someplace. (Unless you're in

Well, of course...simply commenting on local conditions...it's not
quite a desert, but dry in comparison to most. It's a very sandy soil
but there's a caliche layer at about 2-3' under the surface that is
nearly impermeable. I'm sure some detailed soil sampling could find
some remnants near that layer...
