They put locks and weirs in to slow the flow and make it more even, and they also build dams to act as reservoirs and to deepen some areas which can otherwise be a bit shallow e.g. The Three Gorges Dam in China.

How can dams control floods?
Dams hold back water up to the level that they were designed for. They control/regulate the flow of water. Flood waters that come down rivers can be held back (up to the design point) from devastating places further down river. Coastal/sea flooding would not be stopped by dams - but sea walls and the like. Still, preventing river flood waters adding to coastal flooding might help the situation.
