I’m sure we’re all in agreement that dams on rivers are ecological disasters so let’s get away from that. We can build storage reservoirs by find natural depressions in the land and pumping water to them. Washington state has Banks lake which is a holding reservoir that was a dry coulee and dams were built at the top and bottom. water is pumped into it from the grand coulee dam.
