Are the underground aquifers connected, are they smaller individual areas of water that collect rain, or is it from snow melt that has traveled quite a ways underground? We haven't had much rain so I'm wondering where the heck this water comes from! I tried searching google for some aquifer maps but didn't find anything.

Any water in the planet can only go to a certain depth. Then it reaches the soil/rocks/shells whatever, that is so dense and so small, that the water molecules can't get through. And so they start layering throughout the time. Most of the water that rains or snows also vaporizes, when the temps are idle. Underground waters are mainly gathered from "underground rivers" and partially from climatical changes such as floods, rains (very heavy rains), deep frosts (soil freezing to more than 50cm)...
Water kept in such a depth can't become gas, even though the temps would be good, it's kept in the liquid form and gathers incredible energy. If properly used, it can be unlimited source of energy for the greenhouses, farms, along with water supplying that is.
Hope I did explain it, not confused you.
