The concept is that melting alpine glaciers don’t change the total amount of water in the rivers, but when it flows - rivers without lasting glacial feeds in many places have much lower summer/fall flows and heavier spring melt flows than those that are fed by permanent glaciers.

Of course, the whole “problem” is premised on “global warming” being real, so...

Add a small dam. Problem solved plus hydroelectric power.

Of course, if this did occur, and it had a big impact on water supply, they could always build a couple of dams to catch and store spring runoff for later use. It'd be a a lot cheaper than trying to adjust CO2 levels inthe atmosphere, but hey... it's the government. It doesn't have to work.
