Precisely correct. I got into a fascinating discussion with a Hydrologist from UC Davis who was studying water transport (the whole evaporate -> rain -> run off cycle) and their thesis was that mechanisms that entrap water (reservoirs) that are based on gradual rainfall over months, are not the ideal water catchment solution for water that comes sporadically in very large dumps. The Mayan's had an extensive network of cisterns[1] that captured water for later use when it wasn't raining heavily. Anyway, the practical upshot of that is that different infrastructures do better at capturing and releasing water and they have to be tuned to the water transport mechanism for optimum effect. Changes in the climate that change water transport are likely to invalidate existing infrastructure "design rules" and existing infrastructure built for a different water transport cycle will be less effective resulting in less net water delivery.
