That would be historically legitimate but practically not feasible because the system would be exploited in so many broken and annoying ways to make it extremely undesirable. First of all I don't believe feasible to introduce even rudimentary fluid simulation mechanics in a MMO, and without fluid simulation you would end up being able to create dams without the resulting flood.
It would be ok to drop dirt and stones in water until you have yourself a harbor, but try the same thing across a running river... as you reduce the river's section by drawing the banks together the pressure of the water over your structures increases, look at pictures of dams with open gates and try to guess what would happen to a rock placed in front the gate...
I really don't think there is any point in dragging water flow into Salem.
