In the next example ('''Diagram B'''), a '''dam''' (''not shown'') has been placed, which now prevents the river from flowing off the edge of the map. In this case, since it no longer has a "preferred" area to flow into, the pressure exerted by the river source (highlighted in red) allows the water to fill up the remaining level of the u-bend. Use caution when placing a dam on your river. | In the next example ('''Diagram B'''), a '''dam''' (''not shown'') has been placed, which now prevents the river from flowing off the edge of the map.

− | * Note that this situation also applies '''on a map where the river is running into the sea'''. Rivers running into the sea are not free to flow off the edge of the map, as the sea itself actually "dams" them. | + | * Note that this situation also applies '''on a map where the river is running into the sea'''.

The final example ('''Diagram C'''), demonstrates how a '''[[screw pump]]''' exerts pressure - in this case, the water fills up to the same level as the pump's output tile (highlighted in red). | The final example ('''Diagram C'''), demonstrates how a '''[[screw pump]]''' exerts pressure - in this case, the water fills up to the same level as the pump's output tile (highlighted in red). | ||

Don't forget to add a lever and hook it up to the top floodgate so you can shut off the main flow if you're experiencing <s>flooding</s> fun. | Don't forget to add a lever and hook it up to the top floodgate so you can shut off the main flow if you're experiencing <s>flooding</s> fun. |
