Why not just build another dam below this one?

Why not just depopulate to:
A. Decrease risk of damage from dam failure.
B. Avoid need to store water.

"below this one?"
The sudden failure of the dam above would take out the one below due to sudden, max force of water and earth pushing on it.
Also known as hydrostatic pressure.

There is nothing left to build a damn top below this one. It’s pretty much flat to the south past Gilroy and to the north to the south San Francisco Bay.

Why not just build another dam below this one? And then fill up the space between them... and then dynamite the upper dam?
...sneaky!
