This is due to Pascal's law, which states that pressure applied to a fluid in a closed container is transmitted equally to every point in the fluid and to the walls of the container. Since water is a fluid, the pressure on each side of the sheet at the same depth will be equal, resulting in equal forces acting on each side.
