Do such "fossil aquifers" exist? Yes.

Are they widely used in places like Michigan, where there is plenty of precipitation? No.

Rather than making blanket statements, here is the actual aquifer characteristics. https://www.michigan.gov/documents/deq/wrd-nestle-attach-5-a... which is of course much more nuanced, and interesting than "it rains a lot".

Okay,fine. Where in that report does it say that the amount of water Nestle is proposing to pump will make a significant impact on the aquifer?

Hint: nowhere.
