Can't you just play the sound of running water and trigger their instinct? I feel like I read that sometime in the last few years.

Actually, I don't even know that you have to do that much I've seen videos of beavers in captivity seemingly trying to build a dam on dry land

I wonder if there's some kind of near-surface pipes they might hear water running through.

i mean looking at how all animals behave, in the absence of anything resembling their natural habitat they'd probably hear a fan running and feel it's close enough to running water.
