That‘s a dogmatic approach. A practical one would be to estimate the frequency and duration of emergencies based on experience and the cost of being out of order and compare this with the cost of running below capacity all the time.

An example is using water in "wasteful" ways during wet years in order to make sure there is something easy to cut back on during a drought year. Another example is using flood-prone land for recreation rather than building housing there.
