Today, rivers are controlled for many reasons, primarily to maintain reliable water supplies for daily, agricultural and industrial needs, for power generation, for navigation, and to prevent flooding.

今天，河流控制的原因有很多，主要是为了维持可靠的水资源供应，以满足日常生活、农业和工业、发电、航行的用水需要，并起到防洪作用。

Flood control requires the reservoir maintain low levels of water to allow for the inflow of flood waters, while power generation requires high levels of water in the reservoir.

抵御洪水需要水库保持低水位运行，以容纳洪水的流入，而水库只有保持高水位才能满足发电的需要。

Since then, the goals of power generation and flood control have sometimes been in conflict. Regulating water levels can reduce how much electricity is made.

自那以来，发电和控制洪水的目标有时会互相矛盾，调控水位就会减少发电量。
