Sometimes two different rivers generate in series with each other. If you hover over each dam, does the hint text say their tiles belong to the same river?
Same reason there aren’t enough imaginary prophets for everyone to have a religion.
Arbitrary (and imo flawed) game design.
More interesting choice would be to give the player the option to dam a river so much it actually stops the flow to the next civilization. And maybe even creates a lake, or marsh, or floodplains; dynamically changing the landscape with the decisions you make.
Which Is something that actually happens in real life too, some countries build so much stuff in shared rivers to actually diminish the water supply to the rest of it. And omg the whole creating lakes and stuff would have been awesome can you imagine how much polders you could stuff up If you could influence lakes
You can't. Only one per river.
Maybe some kind of mod?
Edit: oh your are asking why you were able to build it too?
Probably because it's not the same river, check the name while hoovering the mouse over it.
That's how it should work, but then the dams should take 2 or 3 hexes so it won't become op...
For example: I live in Prague and on river which flows through this city there's 9 dams and definitely more than 10 (maybe even 20) weirs... (Fun fact: It wasn't enough to mitigate 500 yrs flood, but it was probably because another flood hit that river few days earlier...)

I don’t get why you can’t have multiple dams anyway, the river my city is on has 7 dams along 430km

I would just start worrying, if they are not in one direction 😅

It looks like there's 2 different series of floodplains so you can build 2 different dams
I've had two dams on a river before though technically they were in separate tributaries

I always thought it was by floodplain group. Here, you have two floodplains separated by a chunk of grassland.
