by building a massive dam.

To stop the Colorado River while constructing the Hoover Dam, engineers diverted the river using a system of cofferdams and tunnels. They built temporary dams upstream to redirect the water flow, allowing workers to excavate the riverbed and construct the dam itself in a dry area. This diversion was crucial for ensuring a stable foundation and safe working conditions during the construction process.
To control the flow of traffic during construction, it's best to have signs posted for drivers to know what is coming up the road. Next, have cones to guide the traffic and an flag person ready to signal which flow of traffic can move.
No.
No, it is impossible to stop the flow of the water. The flood gates are too week to control the flow.
the amount of sediment a river is carrying during flow
The Colorado River does not flow into an inland sea, therefore it has a much smaller impact as it is diverted for irrigation purposes. Whereas the Aral sea has been caused to retreat substantially due to the river diversion away from the sea
By building dams - for example, the construction of the Aswan Dam in the 1960's meant that from 1970 the annual flood was controlled.
A perennial river is a river that has continuous flow in parts of its bed all year round during years of normal rainfall.
The Aral sea has not been diverted, but much of the water from the rivers flowing to the Aral sea have been diverted for irrigation, particularly for cotton and rice production in central Asia.
You are going with the flow of the river
An "ebb tide" flows up river, the "flow tide" flows towards the sea.
