In DF a dam can be built across a river or brook.
Uses of a dam
- Blocking the flow of a river to modify it's path.
- Large amounts of water storage.
- Water based Traps.
- Building a large lake.
- Building a dam of floodgates can create a massive wall of water if they are all opened at once.
- Stopping a river.
Dam construction
Constructing a dam (probably) requires the draining of a River so walls or floodgates can be built on the river's bed. If your map freezes during winter this should be easy.
Once the river has been drained you may have to dig into to river bed to be able to place buildings. It will look a bit like this:
After you have access to a river bed simply build a series of walls on top of it, blocking the path of the river. When the water comes back it will fill up the gap as far as it must to let the blocked water flow further. If you build your dam up to the level of the river the water will stop at the dam (It will not overflow.) Since this defies logic it may be fixed in future patches
