It can be any kind of trouble, serous or not so serious. A person who breaks a rule can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother if he walks in a house with dirty shoes. “Water over the dam(水坝)” is another expression about a past event. It’s something that finishes and it cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea - water has run over a dam and it cannot be brought back again. When a friend is troubled by a mistake he has made, you might tell him to forget about it. You can say “It’s water over the dam.” “Throwing cold water” means “not to like an idea”.
