Yes, by percolation (think coffee maker), wherever the earth is porous. If you pump the water out in one place, the water percolates from the surrounding water table to take its place - at least until the water table is depleted and/or their are nonporous rock formations blocking it. Rain will eventually percolate downward to replace it too.

Water definitely moves underground. Bury an object in the ground some two foot or so. Then come back to in after about one week. It will be wet because it drew the water or moister from the earth. I tried burying money once (paper money) good thing it was not much because I left it there for months then when I went back to it it was ruined.
