If an area that usually gets a lot of rain during the rainy season is getting less and less rain each year, where is that water going? Is it landing somewhere else or is it evaporating into the atmosphere permanently?

Somewhere else. Oceans, other areas, like many areas from Korea, Pakistan, and Southern US all has deadly flooding this year.
It can also fall as a different form of precipitation.
Snow melts slowly and will produce a consistent source into summer, but if it’s warmer and falls as rain, then it just flows as water. This can lead to higher water levels in downstream areas and also drier conditions during the summer.
