So, after all the tourists that irrigate this poor region with precious income leave the viewing platforms below the falls, authorities close the sluice gates that dam the White Water River on the dangerously low upstream reservoir, and the falls cease. Then, each morning, before the tourists reappear, they unceremoniously open the gates again, so that the eerily silent falls suddenly revive in a simulacrum of normalcy.
因此当给这个贫困地区带来宝贵收入的游客陆续离开了瀑布的观景台之后，当地政府就会关闭控制白水河（该河上游水库的蓄水量已经低于警戒线了）的水闸，然后瀑布的水就停了。赶在第二天早上游客到来之前，他们又开闸放水，于是这个死一般寂静的瀑布突然又像安装了某种虚拟视觉装置那样转眼间变得生机勃勃了。
