What impact would there be on the water table if there were no hurricanes?

Hurricanes are usually destructive in some way or another. But, what would be the impact if we did not have hurricanes and ultimately the increased water supply driven into the land they cross? Would this ultimately create drought conditions in areas that might actually depend on the hurricanes increasing the local water table? Are we dependent on the water the hurricanes can produce? Could we, and the areas affected by hurricane activity, survive without them? Your thoughts, please. Thanks.

I would think that irregular catastrophic rainfall would mostly end up as runoff, rather than replenishing the water table. ∠°)
