Yes, rivers are often harnessed for various human needs, including hydroelectric power generation, irrigation, and transportation. Dams and water diversion projects are common methods used to control river flow and utilize its resources effectively. However, this harnessing can lead to ecological impacts, such as habitat disruption and altered water quality. Therefore, while rivers are indeed harnessed, the sustainability and environmental consequences of such practices must be carefully considered.
