Considering the trollish nature of Dakori Inkarth, I'd guess a lot of the
local water falls as snow, on the mountains and in Storm/Darkseasons. The
smaller rivers and lakes, like up
in Laca, would probably stay stable: IMO, they're snowmelt. Since these
feed into Skyfall Lake, there'd still be a _little_ water in it, but not
much. Inora rather than Heler might be more important for non-Skyfall
precipitation in DI.
For Dragon Pass as a whole, I'd think that SrT isn't that important, except for the Dragon River.

I'd personally not think much of a big one; the minute the water level
drops far enough, Cragspider looks down, drops the Pillar of Fire in,
pours in the Zorak Zorani and keeps the Black Dragon hanging around while
whatever's left of the chaos critters is stunned by the drop in water
pressure.
Then again, it could be Cthulhu's sunken summer home, for all I know.
Note that the Dragon River runs through Snakepipe Hollow, too, so less water there could have some effect on the chaos ecology.
