Rain water falling from the sky, as part of the water cycle, will sink into the ground and top up the water table. Or the water will flow off the ground surface and eventually form streams and rivers as the water heads towards the sea. But, some of the water will fill depressions in the land, and if the bottom of the depression is clay and not porous, the water would remain as a lake.
