There are entire towns and villages on the floodplains of rivers whose course meanders over time. There are lots of resorts and cottages on shallow coastal barrier islands that are inundated frequently by hurricanes and rising oceans. If you put down a deep well in an arid region, you can often find an aquifer with enough water to last a small town or farm for a few decades that replenishes on a scale of millennia.

The earth changes. Humanity doesn't have a responsibility to a resort owner keep things the same as they were when we started keeping good records.
