Behind a dam, water is kept in a lake called a reservoir.

在大坝后面，水被储存在一个叫做水库的湖中。

In 2010 and 2016, droughts caused the dam’s water to fall so low, the government had to declare emergencies.

2010 年和 2016 年， 干旱导致大坝水位下降到如此低的水平， 政府不得不宣布进入紧急状态。

So if you sprayed pesticides or dammed off water at the top, you might be affecting yours or your neighbor's paddy lower down.

因此， 如果您在顶部喷洒杀虫剂或补水，您可能会影响您或邻居的稻谷。
