Dam if I know.

Sorry couldn't resist.

It is a dam that crosses rivers to control the water flow.

Dam's come in all sizes, shapes, and materials. One of the largest dams in the world is the Aswan dam that crosses the Nile River. It's a huge edifice made of cement and steel.

Probably the smallest dams are the ones built by beavers. They use gnawed off branches and trees to block up small streams.

Lots of man-made dams are built to provide hydro-electric power for the regional area. Hoover Dam in Nevada USA is such a dam. Others are built to provide flood control so that areas downstream don't get flooded out during heavy rainstorms for example. The Aswan Dam is both a flood control and power providing dam.
