Colonies sometimes dammed or blocked rivers to control water flow for irrigation, drinking water, and other agricultural needs. This allowed them to manage water resources more effectively, ensuring a stable supply for farming and settlement. Additionally, such actions could help prevent flooding and create navigable waterways for transportation and trade. Ultimately, these measures were vital for sustaining growing populations and economies.

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.
