Is the owner of agricultural land obligated to bear the costs of rebuilding a fallen dividing wall between his land and his neighbor's land, knowing that the wall was not designed to prevent water damage, and that the land has been irrigated for 40 years, and the landowner does not possess sufficient funds for this?

However, if the watering exceeds the usual amount and results in damage, then its owner is liable.
