"planners used historical climate data ...the water no longer flowed there." This article implies the water changes were driven by climate change, but it appears the changes were from overpumping the aquifer that fed the surface water. "The source of the Beaver River is the vast, underground Ogallala Aquifer, which reaches into eight western states. Agricultural and population growth in this part of the country meant more pressure on the aquifer, dropping its water level and reducing the river to little more than a trickle." -- https://stateimpact.npr.org/oklahoma/2013/03/28/the-lessons-of-history-no-longer-apply-when-it-comes-to-building-lakes/ https://stateimpact.npr.org/oklahoma/2013/03/28/the-lessons-... That doesn't mean climate change isn't concern, but this example is not caused by climate change, but rather by overuse of a limited water resource.
