A forest was cut down to build a city and the water table dropped? Three things come to mind. The city is drawing water from the water table, so it is being drawn down by wells.
The surface of the land is no longer perking water, since it is paved or roofs cover it. If the water cannot soak into the soil, it runs off.
The water that once settled on the ground and soaked down is now channeled into a storm water drainage system, and doesn’t have a chance to soak in.
