English term or phrase: The country folk downstream
Even as the reservoir was filling, part of the river was allowed to flow past. The country folk downstream depended on it.

I translated this sentence to:


Mesmo com o reservatório enchendo, parte do rio deixaram fluir. Os camponeses rio abaixo dependiam disso.


I was a little confused with section of the peasantry.
