first off, theNile does not flood anymore. it has been controlled by a dam that now makes Lake NASA.
but if the Nile did not flood during ancient Egypt times the villages and cities would of had to find another source of food or starve, because the Nile provided them with rich, fertile soil to grow their crops and if it didn't flood they would not of been able to grow as much food as per normal.

What is sometimes build to control the flow of moving surface water?
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.
